The ultimate scene maker, Chuck E. Weiss has spent a career hobnobbing with the cool and famous in rock's hierarchy while barely pursuing a career of his own. Born in Denver, Weiss was originally a drummer, touring with bluesman Lightnin' Hopkins. By the late 1960s, Weiss had performed and/or recorded with Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Dr, John, Roger Miller, and others. While still living in Denver, he struck up a friendship with singer-songwriter Tom Waits, later writing songs like "Spare Parts" with him and moving to Los Angeles. Living at West Hollywood's infamous Tropicana Motel with Waits and singer Rikki Lee Jones, Weiss became the subject of Jones' hit, "Chuck E.'s In Love."
Weiss' career finally stumbled off the launching pad with the 1981 release of The Other Side Of Town, a collection of demo tapes released on Select Records. Rather than follow this up with a proper release, Weiss instead put together a band called the G-d Damn Liars and spent the next 11 years performing a weekly gig at the LA nightclub The Central and later partnered with friend Johnny Depp to convert the club into the Viper Room. After a 18 year hiatus from recording, Weiss' second album, Extremely Cool was released on a Rykodisc subsidiary, Slow River, in 1999. - Cub Koda

AMG EXPERT REVIEW: After an 18-year hiatus from recording, Chuck E. Weiss returned to the studio with Extremely Cool, his first album since 1981's The Other Side of Town on Select. Extremely Cool made one wish that Weiss hadn't stayed away from the studio for so long, for it's an enjoyable and unpretentious collection of roots music and Americana. A variety of earthy material finds its way to this release, which ranges from the bluesy rock of "Pigmy Fund" and "Devil with Blue Suede Shoes" and the roots-rock of "Jimmy Would" and "It Rains on Me" to the zydeco-influenced "Oh, Marcy" and the jazz-minded "Sonny Could Lick All Them Cats." The thing that ties all of these songs together is Weiss' earthy, down-home nature - instead of trying to seduce listeners with slickness or technique, Weiss wins you over with his honesty and lack of pretense. This CD employs such noteworthy guests as Tom Waits (one of the executive producers) and guitarist Tony Gilkyson (brother of folk-pop singer Eliza Gilkyson and a former member of Lone Justice and X) - and it made a person hope that Weiss wouldn't wait another 18 years to record his next album. - Alex Henderson
