This new release from Estrus (the label that knows rock) is a great mix of honky-tonk blues and down home southern rock madness. It's the cd your collection is missing.

Well, first off I'd like to congratulate this band for getting where they are. I live in the town where they play and its really amazing to see them get more noteriety and actually have a cd that you can buy in music stores. The cd is really great. It's mostly just balls out rock n' roll, i don't want to describe their music by saying it sounds like "so and so" meets "so and so". The cd is really good tho, they even have an acoustic track which suprised me because ive never seen them play softer stuff at their shows, but the cd is great and definitely worth buying.

Johnny Thunders bids farewell to his beloved devotees in NYC and heads south of the Mason-Dixon line. After months off bopping around the honkytonks and more than a few unpleasant run-ins with the local yokel, that famous southern hospitality finally starts to win him over. One kudzu-covered day, while hitching down a long stretch of 'Bama scenic byway, he happens upon one of the worst bus wrecks ever. Headline reads: Mick Jagger Dead! But the show must go on. Thunders, being the seasoned vagabond of the bunch, wastes no time in flagging down the next ride. Before they know it, Johnny, Keith and the boys are headed to their next big gig in Tuscaloosa. The rest is/was history. And who was that mysterious man who picked the boys up in their time of need? Why, it was Cooter....of course.

The Dexateens billed as a Southern Fried Rock band?...Let's just leave it at "fried."

This album isn't a play again and again kind of album. If you want a thumpin good sound, I recommend the Quadrajets The World's On Fire.

Had high hopes after reading some reviews, but if I had it to do over again, I'd spend my money somewhere else. This is an album you'll only want to hear once, unless you like frazzled sounds instead of music. Most of the album, the "music" was frantic and intentionally busy for my taste, like the musicians were trying too hard. Just didn't make me glad I bought it.
