P.W. Long
Preston Wright Long III (aka Preston Cleveland) is an American musician, journalist and documentary filmmaker.
He is best known as lead singer and guitar player for the groups Wig, Mule and P.W. Long's Reelfoot; most of his recorded work has been released and/or distributed by Touch and Go Records.〔http://www.tgrec.com/bands/band.php?id=18〕 Long has released four solo albums; slice-of-life narratives typically delivered as hard rock with country music flourishes. Critic Zac Johnson favorably compares Long's music to iconic Johnny Cash, writing, "both share the same kind of working-class, tough-guy, busted-knuckle, rattlesnake-eyed persona."
== Music ==
P.W. Long, who is particularly discreet with personal details, appears to have been raised in Las Vegas, Nevada; Ypsilanti, Michigan (see Mule's "Obion," and its reference to an "Ypsilanti Man"); and for periods in Virginia. He was stationed in Norfolk while serving in the US Navy's Atlantic Fleet. He eventually wound up in Detroit. Purported to be the brother of the frontman of The Laughing Hyenas but this is untrue.
His earliest work was with the band Wig, and it is his voice that you hear on the ''Lying Next to You'' record. Sometime in the early 1990s, Long began a side project with the Laughing Hyenas' rhythm section, Kevin Munro and Jim Kimball. They put together a concoction of field hollers, backwoods legends, hellbilly canon and mixed it with a semi-punk, semi-metallic musical assault that was best described as northern redneck, but intelligent, clamor.
Calling themselves Mule, they released a single in 1991 or 1992 containing the song ''Tennessee Hustler''. Their first self-titled album debuted shortly thereafter on Touch and Go Records sub-label, "Quarterstick", and was recorded by Nirvana recording engineer Steve Albini (though credited in the liner notes to a fictitious Lenard Johns).
While it had the raucousness of the Hyenas, and certain punk and alternative sensibilities, Mule was quite different. The album opened with P.W. shouting "We left town to the sound of buckshot rain" on ''Mississippi Breaks''.
As P.W. himself later admitted, he didn't really know how to play guitar when he started with Mule, or at least not all that "slickly" to use his word. Instead, he used a variety of open tunings and such, coupled with a simple feel for what was right, to create his sound. Never bounded by the need for classic guitar solos, P.W. still put the guitar at the forefront with innovative melody lines and breaks.
The self-titled album continued on with ''I'm Hell'', the rawking ''What Every White Nigger Knows'', the eerie ''Drown'', the trip into Old NorthWest Folk Music with ''Now I Truly Understand'', the duet with Kevin on ''Mama's Reason to Cry'', ''Lucky'' and ''Sugarcane Zuzu'' with its admonition from P-Bone's grandpappy that "You can wish in one hand, and shit in the other, and see which one fills up first."
Mule's first album ended up on ''Spin Magazine's'' "''Ten Best Albums of 1993 You Didn't Hear''" list and prompted endless touring by the band. New songs were always in progress, with P.W. sometimes simply humming or yodling words during live performances over the new music before lyrics were complete.
Mule followed up their debut album with the EP ''Wrung'' and the album ''If I Don't Six'' in 1994. Both are mid 90s punkabilly/country metal standards, with "Wrung" in particular fitting the definition of hard to define. The song/story of "Searchlight" is evil, mean and foreboding. The down and dirty call and response duet by P.W. and Kevin on "Rope and the Cuckold" is another highlight. "If I Don't Six" went in a slightly different direction, with some piano, a bit more soul but just as much ass whuppin'. In particular, "Obion", "Nowhere's Back", and "Pent" are songs of raw power, loneliness, depression and yet beautiful soulfulness.
Long left the band in 1996, after their relocation to Philadelphia, and began playing local solo acoustic shows.
Long then formed the band ''Reelfoot'' with bassist Dan Maister (1971–2005), and Mac McNeilly, ex-drummer of The Jesus Lizard, releasing the albums ''We Didn't See You on Sunday'' and ''Push Me Again'' in 1997 and 1998 respectively—again with Touch and Go Records (Quarterstick). After this, Long went on a musical hiatus, broken by occasional gigs. During this time he directed the music video for the song ''You're the Reason'' by Hank Williams III, produced by former Babes in Toyland bassist Maureen Herman. The video received heavy rotation on CMT in summer of 2000. In late 2000, Long moved to New York City and started writing professionally, beginning with a gig as the New York nightclub and restaurant critic for London's ''Crush Guide'' magazine.
In 2002, the band Shellac, who were curating the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival in Rye, asked Long to appear, and he shared the stage with bands such as Wire and The Fall. After this, Long released his first solo album, ''Remembered'', in 2003.
