While at least one source refers to the Silos as a key early band in the alternative-country field, Walter Salas-Humara's vision has kept the group above genre. The wisdom of When the Telephone Rings' rootsy rock inheres as much in its sound and groove as in lyrical injunctions to "keep your heart innocent of your world" and "the world doesn't owe you a thing!" Adding players and singers such as Television guitarist Richard Lloyd (who burns on the opening "Only Love," providing the most notable music here) and Amy Allison on various tracks, the trio offers a friendly album that's modest in comparison to early classics such as Cuba or the two albums combined on Ask The Dust. Midway through track seven ("The First Move"), longtime fans will be settled down with the Silos essence--modest and classic. --Rickey Wright
