Superego's Paul Minor has been holding court at the Hole in the Wall, one of Austin's last bastions of local live music, every Sunday night since 1994. The Rock & Roll Free-for-All, as the hootenanny is aptly named, is a revolving door cross between the Band's Last Waltz and the Gong Show, with Superego serving as the house band. For many acts, performing there has become a rite of passage, and some, like Spoon, the Damnations TX, and Fastball have graduated to the major leagues.
Superego's third release, Oh Yes My Friend, is as sprawling as the all encompassing Free-for-All, a patchwork quilt stitched together with the help of some of the musicians (from Fastball, Sixteen Deluxe, and the Meat Puppets) who've shared the Hole in the Wall's stage. Minor is seemingly influenced by everything: There's the bossa nova-esque opener "Misery Date", the candy-metal double entendres of "Tulips," the lilting barroom country of "Lagniappe" and the loose-limbed take on soul legend Archie Bell's "Tighten Up."
Despite the stylistic hopscotch, Oh Yes My Friend is a surprisingly focused collection of Minor's pop-inflected songs and an extension of the camaraderie that glues Austin's musical community together--well, at least at the Rock & Roll Free-for-All on Sunday night.
