This review is from: Live and Loud at Billy Bob's Texas (Cross Canadian Ragweed) (Audio CD)

Cross Canadian Ragweed is one hell of a band, carried on the songwriting of lead singer/guitarist Cody Canada. Not that he's the only talent here; all four guys contribute to make some great music. And what better place for great music than Billy Bob's Texas?

The album kicks off with the Vietnam song "Long Way Home," then carries into the almost-whistful "42 Miles," one of my favorites. Another good one is "Look At Me," about a guy enjoying his downward spiral through life. "President Song", though not congruent with all of my beliefs, does capture one thing that rings true: Osama bin Laden's balls really SHOULD be in a sling! "Carney Man" is awesome too, as is the roudy "Boys From Oklahoma."

A note: "Bang My Head" actually occurs BEFORE "Carney Man." Just a little typo.

This is one hell of an album. I reccomend their self-titled CD--featuring the hit "17"--as well. Cross Canadian Ragweed is a band with attitude and a sound uniquely their own, while at the same time capturing the spirit of Texas music. They're a band you need to listen to and follow.

So buy this CD, and be LIVE AND LOUD at Billy Bob's Texas with Cross Candadian Ragweed!

5.0 out of 5 stars buy this. now., January 7, 2004

This review is from: Live and Loud at Billy Bob's Texas (Cross Canadian Ragweed) (Audio CD)

Every now and then, I stumble across a new band that changes my life. I bought the latest Reckless Kelly album, and amazon thoughtfully suggested I buy some Cross Canadian Ragweed as well . . . I did, and I've since bought everything they've done, seen them live, and become a much happier person. I cannot even begin to tell you how good this band is, and I am NOT a country music fan. This is what country music SHOULD sound like. While I love every single song they've done, this album is probably the best first album to get. Anyone who doesn't like this album doesn't really like music. A warning, however: don't buy this one unless you're also prepared to buy all their others. Because you will want to.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best songs from CCR's first two CDs, October 22, 2002

My introduction to Texas Music and "red dirt". Until I heard CCR and some of the other Texas greats (REK, Pat Green, Mark David Manders, etc.)I hated country music. Turns out, I only hate nashville country music. Texas country music is great. CCR is great on CD and even better live. This CD has the best songs from Carney, Highway 377, and Live & Loud from the Wormy Dog.
