5.0 out of 5 stars Boogie Picking, June 20, 2001

This review is from: Better Off Dead (Audio CD)

I purchased this CD, because an old friend of mine was in the band. "Here you go buddy, don't ask for any more favors." When it arrived in the mail I toss the thing, cardboard and all, into the back seat of my car, and I'm off to run some errands. Now, I'm not afraid to admit to you that I have a problem: I can't seem to stop listening to those same three CDs that have been in my car since October, 1999. Nevertheless, I pop in that Guns and Roses for about the one millionth time. Just when Sweet Child O Mine hits its opening crescendo, I've had it. Too much repetition in my life. At the next traffic light, I'm going to pull it from the backseat and listen to Better Off Dead. The disc opens with Boogie Disease, and it is working on my rundown psychie. I am grooving all the way to the Post Office. Next, I need to return some clothing, (father's day error) which is my least favorite chore. She Like That Chicken is a good way to go. Nice song, road-house blues style, and it successfully puts a smile on my face. By the time the song, Liquor in the Front hits me, I'm no longer smiling. I am laughing. I'm laughing so f-ing hard that I sideswipe a telephone pole. Now I have the blues, because I have another errand to run. It's just the normal blues not the Lesbian Blues, track 9, a down and dirty ditty that is truly a gem. In fact most of the tracks included in this fifteen count are gems. The self titled Better Off Dead is a rocking rebellion from the depths of Northern New Jersey, the blues capitol of New Jersey. Do yourself a favor, order yourself a copy, Get on The Whiskey and Get on The Fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun record by a band I'd never heard of before, August 5, 1999

I took a chance on these guys based on a review in Blues Access Magazine. I'm glad I did. Has a real raw, upbeat boogie, almost rockabilly feel and the lyrics are a blast. Sounds like they'd be a lot of fun to see live.
