At the height of her Geraldine Fibbers-fronting pseudo-fame, Carla Bozulich rated a Spin feature. She took full advantage of the opportunity, with a full-page photo that became the best hairy-armpits-baring punk pinup since Patti Smith's Easter album cover. Riot-grrl chasers will never forget the sight of Bozulich, in black-lace bra and white tank top, donning yellow rubber gloves and wielding a butcher knife. But they've also maintained memories of the Fibbers' vigorous country and incendiary emotional outbursts. In addition to that lamentably defunct outfit's discography, Bozulich can draw from a stock of stellar covers, including James Brown's "Hot Pants," Tom Waits' "On the Nickel" and tracks from Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger, which she recently remade in its entirety.
