"No one is quite like Diamanda Galas. Who else could draw comparisons to Grace Jones, Mahalia Jackson, and Flatula Lee Roth from Tragic Mulatto, all uttered in one reverent breath? And who else but the diva of vocal gymnastics could team up with one of rock's heaviest bassists, Led Zeppelin's legendary John Paul Jones?
Emerging triumphant from this collaboration, Galas drags her new album THE SPORTING LIFE over her shoulder like a fresh kill. She whinnies like a horse through songs like 'Devil's Rodeo' while the title track finds her hurling insults like Rita Hayworth's character in 'Gilda" screaming',I don't like him, let's kill him!"
Ms. Galas is no one to mess with. She's a vicious trilingual temptress teamed up with an equally adept bassist, and the resulting SPORTING LIFE is an equally harsh yet beautiful new album."
John Paul Jones (lap steel guitar, bass); Pete Thomas (drums).
Personnel includes: Diamanda Galas (vocals, piano, Hammond B-3 organ);
Entertainment Weekly (9/23/94, p.70) - "...Led Zeppelin bassist Jones and Pete Thomas join the demonic diva to form a power-mad trio on Galas' most rocking album yet..." - Rating: B
Musician (11/94, p.88) - "...At times, THE SPORTING LIFE sounds like the best album Led Zeppelin never made, with Galas' acrobatic, banshee-giving- birth caterwaul subbing for Jimmy Page feedback in a newfangled power trio..."

on Devil's Rodeo
You say that I treat you all the same
those who leave must have no shame
I'm the girl who runs this game
Of the devil's rodeo
They say my love will drive you do
But you may be just what I need
And romance I take the lead
At the devil's rodeo
My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine I'm sure you'll see
My love comes with no guarantee
The devil's rodeo
He say you Lupita Is full of greed
you say your love's an evil seed
bring a madman to his knees
At the devil's rodeo
My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine I'm sure you'll see
My love comes with no guarantee
The devil's rodeo
He say you Lupita Is full of greed
you say your love's an evil seed
bring a madman to his knees
At the devil's rodeo
you love me fulltime but you need
down ? liberty
oh please Lupita set me free
at the devil's rodeo
they say she moves her men with fear
and when we lose there's no one here
all is fair in love my dear
at the lover's rodeo
My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine you will agree
My love comes with no guarantee
At the devil's rodeo
He say you Lupita Is full of greed
you say your love's an evil seed
bring a madman to his knees
At the devil's rodeo
and when it's over, make your bed
don't you leave or you're dead
it's best for you to keep your head
the devil's rodeo
presume this house there's no reprieve
I never see a loser leave
Lupita makes man believe
that the devil's rodeo
My heart is empty but I'm free
What's yours is mine you will agree
My love comes with no guarantee
At the devil's rodeo
and when it's over, make your bed
don't you leave or you're dead
it's best for you to keep your head
the devil's rodeo
round em up Randy!
