Left to his own devices, Supersucker Eddie Spaghetti indulges in a redneck renegade shtick, and on The Value of Nothing, his fourth solo venture, he s decided to push that persona as far as it can go. He s abandoned other people s songs, choosing to dedicate this 2013 LP to all originals, but he s conscientious about not letting this slide into the scuzz-rock of the Supersuckers (although the breakneck Fuckin with My Head does flirt with extremes). Everything is anchored on an acoustic guitar, even when he s spitting out vulgarities, which he does with some regularity and no small dose of humor. His misanthropic anthem People Are Shit is a Tex-Mex two-step worthy of Doug Sahm, and the catchiest, poppiest thing here is called If Anyone s Got the Balls. Beneath the jokes and rage, Eddie Spaghetti is reckoning with mortality, slyly playing with his advancing years on the May-December romance You Get to Be My Age and, tellingly, bringing the album to a close with the matter of fact When I Go, I m Gone. On both, the rocker realizes he s no longer a young man but, The Value of Nothing proudly isn t young music: this is steeped in tradition, from the outlaw music he loves to the raw rock and punk that fuel the Supersuckers, and Eddie Spaghetti isn t so much fighting the shifting times as much as he s digging in and taking a stand for who he is and what he loves.
