...coolest new accessories for the style savvy may be a pincushion and a pair of pinking shears. Once relegated to little old ladies, the frugal-minded and neohippie handicrafters, sewing your own clothes is back in vogue. Inspired by the desire for a unique look and by reality-TV shows like Project Runway, in which aspiring designers compete for an entrée into the established fashion world, more young people are trying their hand at this traditional domestic art. The Home Sewing Association estimates that there are about 35 million sewing hobbyists in the U.S., up from roughly 30 million...

The album kicks off with the high-voltage Pincushion and never lets up. From the syncopated stomp of Fuzzbox Voodoo to the scrawl of searing guitar notes on Cherry Red, the trio, led by Gibbons' supple guitar work, rocks with earnest, no-frills intensity that harks back to ZZ Top's first hit, La Grange...
