Great Americana Debut!, February 20, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Burning Daylight (Audio CD)
I have been a fan of these guys for quite a few years now, and this, their debut album, captured a raw intensity that few bands can translate from live performance to the studio. Among my favorites on the disc are '725' 'Jenny Please' 'Kentucky Eyes' & 'Advice', although there ain't a clunker in the bunch!
The songs, written by either Troy Campbell or Scrappy Jud Newcomb, show that there is something special about these two young songwriters that will hold greater things for the future. Together, they led Loose Diamonds through several critically acclaimed releases. Since then, Campbell has released 2 great solo projects, while co-writing songs with songwriters from around the world, and Newcomb has become one of the most in-demand guitarist/producer/songwriters that Austin has to offer.
You should get this disc, which will show you the roots of 'Americana' from the band that embraced that style of music before the term had even been coined.
