Here’s the latest music charting on WORT! Two “supergroups” rank first on our top 30 this week: Dead Rock West, (pictured) the California vocal duo of Cindy Wasserman and Frank Lee Drennen, has a new album produced by John Doe and featuring his X bandmate D.J. Bonebrake on drums as well as Elliot Easton of The Cars on guitar. The Filthy Friends (below) gathers a fantastic group for their stellar debut on the Kill Rock Stars label, including Corin Tucker of Sleater-Kinney, Peter Buck of R.E.M., guitarist Kurt Bloch of the Fastbacks, Young Fresh Fellows bassist Scott McCaughey and drummers Bill Rieflin (King Crimson) and Linda Pitmon (Baseball Project, Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3.)
