Salem 66- Salt (Don Giovanni Records)

Hallelujah! This terrific band from Boston, led by guitarist Judy Grunwald and bassist Beth Kaplan, is finally being reissued and rediscovered by a whole new generation of fans (and it's about time!). 

The band, which began in the early 80s, released four albums and several singles for the Homestead label before calling it a day in 1990. 

Now, nearly four decades later (and with a song on the terrific Strum and Thrum comp that Captured Tracks released a few years ago) the Don Giovanni label has released a 10-song compilation of the band's work, with songs picked by Grunwald and Kaplan.

It's a lovely piece of work giving me a touch of special feeling as I was a big fan of the band at the time and caught them live a coupla times.  

SALT includes the loping "Red Barn" (from their first EP), to the moody "Across the Sea" (the first single), onto heavier stuff like "Playground" (which I didn't realize how much it reminded me of Beat Happening). Elsewhere, "Isabella," an old favorite, is conjured up here, as is the pre-grunge of "Thaw." 

I'm hoping more reissues may be down the road, but for now, SALT is more than welcome in this home. Finally .....finally, welcome back!
