The Ten Commandments - Home Fires Burning Label: Sensible Records Cat #: TEN-007 Format: Vinyl LP Record: VG+ VG++ Cover: VG++ Year of release: 1989 Country: Canada Songs I Won't Be Happy Now And Then Chances Isn't It Time Favorite Day I Saw You Cry The Lost Want You I Don't When You're Around Boom The band began getting favourable press around town for their blend of '60's garage, punk, and country blues material. Following a career highlighting gig opening for LA's The Gun Club, Gordon and second guitarist John Deslaurier (Doughboys) left and Byron Pickles was brought in on guitar. Immediately the songwriting began to change and the departure of Daytona (who went onto Change Of Heart), brought about the new rhythm section of James and Ridley. It was this line-up that recorded a three song cassette. This line-up would follow this well received tape with the full-blown album 'Weird Out' in 1987 on the band's own Sensible Records label. During the recording of the 1988 7" single "Wherever I Go" they lost drummer Bob Ridley so the band turned to another drummer, Tony Jenkinson, to record their follow-up album the less garagey (i mean... more powerpop) 'Home Fires Burning' in 1989, the main references coming to my ears would be The Barracudas. The Ten Commandments struggled throughout the early 1990's before calling it quits and released one more album shortly after disbanding. Source: canoe
