No Apologies / Boom Boom Willie / Let's Talk About Sex / Gimme Danger / Just A Girl Pissing On Your Flowers /Sugar O'Dee / Sinville / No Fun Forever / Methchild / Raunchy Raunchy / No Reaction / All I Own.
Produced by Jeff Dahl
Jeff Dahl: vocals, guitar, bass & drums ? + R. Brock: piano & violin

"...I called this my Glam record at the time. The songs and sound really reminded me of those old records of mine. Mott, Lou, Dolls... The tune Boom Willie was written about Willie Alexander. If ya don't know who he is, shame on ya!"
or
"...A cover of "Gimme Danger" (does he get a washing machine when he completes the eight-song Raw Power cycle?) isn't the only overly familiar attribute of "Bliss". Dahl's not exactly a font of novel ideas, and his endless variations on the same themes — especially as he's become a studio hermit (pianist Brock is the only outsider here) — make his soundalike albums less interchangeable than indistinguishable. If he's gonna keep writing the same tunes over and over, at least he should try varying the timbre or style of his guitar or voice..." Trouser Press Buy It Here !

Released in 1992, "Wicked" is the sixth album by Jeff Dahl but his third solo album after the excellent "Ultra Under"! It contains eleven rock & raw originals & one cover: "The Moon Upstairs" from Mott The Hoople's "Brain Capers".
"...Jeff Dahl cut "Wicked" with a lot of the same people and no hint of change in approach from "Ultra Under" — and it's just as good.The studio cast includes drummer Dave Nazworthy (of Chemical People) and guitarist Paul Cutler (45 Grave/Dream Syndicate). Amid such generic originals as "Lisa's World," "Real High School Romance" and "Radio Babylon," Dahl shifts his choice of covers a little by doing "The Moon Upstairs" from Mott the Hoople's 1972 Brain Capers. Piano continues to be a useful element: John Manikoff's addition to the full-power "Just Like They Should" does the deed here..." Source

"There are some musicians who go through decades and changing styles and have an unshakable belief in whatever they do and who care passionately about the music they create, no matter what the critics might say and what music fashion is hip at the time. In fact, there are some who are always hip and stay in love with the music they listen to and create. Jeff Dahl is one of those people. From the West Coast punk explosion of the late 70's, Jeff Dahl has remained an indestructible constant year after year, releasing album after album. In 2009 he still gets excited about entering the studio to make music.
We at Über Röck caught up with him to ask him what's going down in the Dahl house and try to find out what this underground rock monster is up to next. Sit back, relax and enjoy the wise words of the one and only Jeff Dahl..."
