Welcome !      The Ex-Husbands The Line Forms On The Right Album: All Gussied Up Genres: Alt-Country Tasty pickin' and sly singin' distinguish this otherwise average country rocker. These guys are supposed to smoke live, but you can barely get a whiff of it here.

Sure, the tempo's upbeat, and Anders Thomsen coaxes some fluid bends and tangy twangs out of his Telecaster, but mostly this just sounds like the work of your garden-variety country bar band. Ditto for the lyrics, which work the "woe is me" part of the field, but fail to harvest much more than a couple of smile-inducing couplets; in fact, they'd be complete groaners if not for the sly-humored way that Thomsen's dusty baritone puts them across. I'd like to see these guys in a club with a couple of shots of Jim Beam in me, but sober and at home they just don't do it.       Dan Epstein     Dan Epstein is a Los Angeles-based journalist and pop-culture historian whose work has appeared in L.A.
