5.0 out of 5 stars Country's Best Live Band Grows Up, April 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Coast to Coast (Audio CD)

Always a great live show (and an inexhaustible human jukebox of country B-sides and classics when you shout out your requests!) BR5-49 have also ripened as songsmiths. Whether it's their own familiar "Even If It's Wrong" or the wonderful new "Waitin' For The Axe" and "Better Than This," these guys are everything real country is about: excellent writing, excellent playing, and a whole lotta heart and integrity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Next Best Thing To Being There, April 10, 2000

BR5-49 has established themselves as the best live honky tonk band doing it these days, at least to anyone who has seen them perform live. If you can't make it to one of their shows, this CD is the next best thing, although you lose a lot of the witty banter that is part of the fun at a live performance. So, all you hillbillies, and wannabe hillbillies, get the album, buckle up, and go for a ride.

4.0 out of 5 stars Even if it's wrong, September 30, 2000

This review is from: Coast to Coast (Audio CD)

When plugging into Nashville's country music formula, releasing your second live album as your 4th overall release could be called wrong. Most would call it "stupid" or "just plain dumb". BR5-49 simply doesn't care, and after listening to Coast to Coast, you know why. Just as their live shows typically do, they start easy and work up to frenzied fever pitch, so does Coast to Coast. This record showcases of some of their better originals and favorite covers.

The production is mediocre, the guitar sound is a little muddy, and the steel guitar/fiddle are not featured as they have been in the live shows I have seen, but the quality musicianship shines through here.

When you first listen to this album you will probably think "Wow, that's kinda fun, but I'm going to get tired of this pretty quickly." You will be wrong. BR5-49's herky-jerky flashback is a portrait of how country music should be.
