Greg Dulli is the driver, a true liver of life, and Blackberry Belle is his tribute to the decadence humans -- free and redeemed -- are allowed to taste.
Dulli came to the writing and recording of Blackberry Belle after devoting over a decade to The Afghan Whigs, one of the most original, expectation-defying and yet stylishly sophisticated outfits to emerge from the latterday American underground rock scene.
Greg spent the next year recording in a studio run by a mad German producer, a mere three minutes away from his new home in the Silver Lake district.

 PopMatters Music Interview | A Prolific Greg Dulli Gets Down on Cover Songs and PopMatters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Greg Dulli doesn't mince words, he calls people on their shit, and he's unapologetic in both his actions and his history.
Somehow, fall seems a little bit sweeter when Greg Dulli ushers it in, this year with a covers record, no surprise from someone who with the Afghan Whigs and his current outfit the Twilight Singers has routinely thrown songs from the Supremes to Van Halen into the live set.
There's no denying the charisma of Dulli, nor the power of the Twilight Singers' live show, and the two combined may not reinvent peanut butter, but they are combustible, resulting into what will no doubt be a highlight among year end tours.

 Cincinnati CityBeat : 05/17/2006 : Twilight's Last Dreaming
Greg Dulli and The Twilight Singers' latest album, Powder Burns, was recorded primarily in New Orleans, before and after last year's catastrophic hurricane.
Dulli is every bit the swaggering, boisterous frontman of old, approaching the Singers' material with the same ferocity that made the Afghan Whigs a viscerally compelling live force.
With Dulli in Seattle (and L.A. and New Orleans), bassist John Curley and drummer Michael Horrigan in Cincinnati and guitarist Rick McCollum in Minneapolis, the band decided the Whigs were done.

 greg dulli - amber headlights - cd review
Amber Headlights is the first solo record from Greg Dulli, ex-singer/songwriter of the criminally underrated grunge/soul outfit The Afghan Whigs, and founder of the excellent (and still together) Twilight Singers.
Dulli even admits this on the sleeve notes, "What you have here are my days in the wilderness trying to make sense of my first foray into recording without a net."
Greg Dulli does little to cover new ground that he hasn't already addressed on records previous to "Amber Headlights", both with The Whigs and The Twilight Singers.

 Splendid Magazine reviews Greg Dulli: Amber Headlights
After a several-year hiatus, Dulli returned to the recordings, presumably to add some closure to both his music and his memories.
Dulli sounds troubled and tortured (as usual), but he's downright angry on the soulful rocker "Early Today (And Later That Night)" as a series of intertwined guitar solos rage in the background.
Dulli's smoky voice drifts between the ivory keys, then is quickly overcome by silence at the song's end.

I'd had the idea of a backdrop covered in writing for years - in fact, I'd cooked up the idea for an earlier opportunity to shoot Dulli and his band.
I filed it until I got the call to shoot Dulli while he was in town doing promo for his band's new record.
A courtesy call to the record company to ask just what he didn't want me to write on the backdrop presented a snag; he said that anything was alright as long as it was in Italian.

 AvoidPeril.com
The live incarnation of the Twilight is nearly as solid as the Whigs’ and Dulli, ever the instigator, is always at the top of his game during the band’s brazen, two-hour live shows, shit-talking and name dropping all night long.
Dulli wouldn’t pick up a guitar again for nearly a year, abandoning the bulk of the nine songs on Headlights.
If 1965 was the gloriously debauched sound of Dulli and Co. out for a night on the town, Amber Headlights sounds like Dulli still going at it at 5 AM the next morning with a mountain of blow in front of him.

 Alt.Culture.Guide CD Playlist: Greg Dulli's Amber Headlights   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
As frontman for '90s-era critical darlings the Afghan Whigs, Greg Dulli was responsible for bringing a measure of soul to a rather barren alt-rock landscape.
Dulli started the Twilight Singers as a side project while the Whigs were between record deals, recording songs in New Orleans with a varied cast of friends, experimenting with sounds and ideas like trip-hop and folk that laid beyond his regular band's milieu.
Dulli's lyrics are smart, introspective and universally accessible, displaying no little skill in creating a sense of both time and place.

 Greg Dulli: Amber Headlights - PopMatters Music Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
With both the Afghan Whigs and the Twilight Singers, Dulli flaunts his cubist soul man persona like chloroform on a rag, the kind of perverted approach that makes you feel dirty for being turned on so easily.
Amber Headlights is neither a holy grail of unreleased Dulli tracks nor an insightful glimpse into the goings-ons behind his velvet curtain; nevertheless, it's by no means a major disappointment.
But that's the thing about Dulli and the fine art of seedy seduction: you have to have a snake oil salesman's blood to play the part of a Casanova, and some days people aren't buying what you're selling.

Ο ίδιος ο Dulli είχε ξεκινήσει να δουλεύει πάνω στο ντεμπούτο των Twilight Singers από το 1997, όταν τα μέλη των Afghan Whigs είχαν αποσυρθεί, προσπαθώντας –κατά κάποιο τρόπο- να ηρεμήσουν, μετά την ουσιαστική κατάρρευση των σχέσεών τους με τη δισκογραφική.

 jukeboxgraduate.com: Greg Dulli's Amber Headlights
To be fair, you have to evaluate this record for what it is, no more, no less: admittedly unfinished, a polaroid, a slice in time, not a finished product for mass release (although it is, gratifyingly, finding success outside of the major label mainstream).
The songs are classic Dulli, some might have been Whigs songs or were originally written with the Whigs in mind.
There's no question that songs like "So Tight" or "Cigarettes" are Classic Dulli, "Early Today" has one of those guitar lines that sound like a heart unrending, "Golden Boy" should be on your summer driving soundtrack, "Get The Wheel" is likely the predecesor to the astonishing "Teenage Wristband" -- and the superlatives could continue.

 Greg Dulli And The Twilight Singers - Mark Lanegan - New York Magazine Pop Music Review
Dulli and Lanegan also happen to constitute a mini-scene of their own: They are friends and collaborators (they live in the same Los Angeles neighborhood and recently formed a side project called the Gutter Twins) and they share similar musical obsessions (Lanegan, blues; Dulli, soul).
Dulli doesn’t always succeed: He strains at Björk’s typically wide-eyed “Hyperballad,” but miraculously finds the plaintive acoustic sweetness buried in Hope Sandoval’s overorchestrated “Feeling of Gaze.” And Dulli mines all the tension of Marvin Gaye’s “Please Stay (Once You Go Away)” without being too emotive.
Dulli may affect a blustering, masculine disregard for the opposite sex onstage, but She Loves You proves that the singer is, to borrow Pauline Kael’s praise of screenwriter Robert Towne, a “man who understands women.”
