It's been a long 3-year wait for us NP fans, but Get Some has been worth every minute.

From the first few, thundering powerchords, you know that all is well in pussyland. There's a really fresh, energetic feel to this album that is obvious from the get-go. The songs are faster and harder than Say Something Nasty, but not as "punk" as the first album. A bit more "metal" I guess you'd say, and Blaine's voice sounds spookily like Alice Cooper on some of the tracks...and that's certainly not a bad thing.

The addition of new bassist Karen Cuda seems to have fuel-injected things a bit. The production is much better than the previous records as well. Don't let this scare you off, but they sound sharper and higher-budget without losing any of the raw energy. Lyrically I didn't find myself laughing out-loud as much as I normally do, but there are still some real gems to be had here, especially on "Meaner than my mama". There's even a cover of Ace Frehley's "Snowblind" that utterly blows-away the original.

Overall this album does what NP does best, kick maximum a**, and this time they do it with more polished production that only increases the roar. Crank it up and give thanks to the rock n' roll gods that this band even exists. Now, if only I didn't have to keep driving 100+ miles to see them live.

I popped this in the car cd deck after listening to the Cult's "Electric" & Gun's "Appetite For Destruction" constantly for the last two weeks. You know what? This effort by Nashville Pussy blends the best elements of those two albums and throws in a bit of sleaze like only the Pussy can do. This may arguably be the bands best album, seriously. There's an energy and vibe here not even the first album can touch. The songs flat out rock, the production is first rate (this album has a great overall "sound"), great lead guitar from Ruyter, the new rhythm secton of Karen & Jeremy pound LAMF and Blaine's vocals are killer as usual. I can understand the references in previous reviews to Blaine sounding like Alice Cooper...but only slightly. Blaine is Blaine, case closed. If anything he sounds more like the late Sam Kinison combined with someone like Brian Johnson from AC/DC. The other thought that struck me is the "depth" of Blaine's lyrics. Although they are written in a profane, sleazey, trashy, redneck sort of vain...there is a "profoundness" here absent from the bands previous releases (how often, if ever, has one of the most important figures in the hisory of organized religion been refered to as the "super chimp"?). Throw in a smokin' cover of Ike & Tina's "Nashville City Limits" (as good as Seger's from "Live Bullet") and you've got a 5 star plus release.
All in all a must have add to cart. Anyone who is a fan of this band will consider it money well spent.

Nashville Pussy has finally matured..???..mutated..??? from the all out southern-fried punk band they started as into a full blown 70's cock-rock outfit....although they still retain some of the redneck sensebilities and humor they've always had, this is just a bit glossier and more mainstream. That's not necesarily a bad thing..this disc sounds great and with the addition of Karen Cuda {finally, a REAL bassist} the band sounds energized....and Nutbush just plain rocks!! Don't know if they will ever be accepted by the general public, but to us fans, there just isn't a better time to be had than at a N.P. show. Curious to see whats next for the Pussies...wherever they head to, it will kick [...]!! We love ya Ruyter!!

I'm a huge Nashville pussy fan and this album leaves me with mixed impressions.
What i've liked:
a)Energy.Yes,from the opening song Nashville pussy attack you with some great rock tracks.
b)The first two tracks,which i believe are the best of this album.They realy rock.
c)Karen Cuda.She is a gorgeous woman and a great bass player.She also fit very well in the band,during the studio and live sessions as well.It's like playing there for years.Good work girl!

What i didn't like:
a)The sound.Although it's crystal clear,i think it's just too modern.
b)They lack fast tunes.
c)Their present style.It seems that they've changed it in a way.The songs sound more simple and there are many guitar gaps which could be fullfilled with riffs and licks.It's more heavy and modern and it doesn't come very close to their old-time rock n' roll feeling they had in their first three albums.

I consider myself as a quite traditional rocker and this album is just to my limits.It's cool,full of energy,but i prefer their previous ones (even "say something nasty" which had their worse sound).I just hope they'll come back with some good rock n' roll spirit and not try to be mainstream.

This is their best yet ... my heart broke when Corey went off to do her thing elsewhere and the Pussy struggled a bit since, but have come back with a vengeance here. Think of vocals that combine Motorhead's Lemmy with American Dog's Michael Hannon and Black Oak Arkansas' "Jim Dandy", throw in a power rhythm section and you have a rough idea of what to expect. Add a sense of humour, some clever lyrics, absolute political incorrectness with no apologies and no frills guitars and you're getting close. And Ike and Tina would be pround of the Pussy's rendition of Nutbush City Limits too.

Really good CD. Seller sent it on time and in excellent conditon. I was fortunate enough to see them open for Motorhead on The Global Warming Tour. I have most of their CD's and this one is realy good. I was also lucky enough to meet them and take photos. Will definately see them again.....

As Blaine himself has said on stage, rock music has been relegated to the fringes, ignored by radio, cast aside, but records like this one show that bands like Nashville Pussy cannot be ignored. This is rock and roll the way it was meant to be, as raw and raucous as possible, and all about sex and having a good time. The addition of Karen Cuda on bass has revitalized NP into a driving juggernaut of relentless riffage, tearing America a new one, then breaking their booted foot off in it. The exhuberance of this album, even on songs that you would think aren't exhuberant like "Hate and Whiskey" powers through at any volume. This is a great rock band having the time of their lives with their best line-up ever, and their songwriting at its peak. This is the kind of rock and roll record that can put you in a good mood, cure your depression, make you fall in love with a stranger, make you buy a new leather jacket and spraypaint obscenities onto it. For my entertainment dollar, Nashville Pussy is the most fun rock band touring today, and this record is a sparkling representation of their rock and roll spirit. With the Colorado Cuda on bass and the Canadian Cannonball on guitar, Remo and Blaine each have both hands full of titillating, tumultuous tools of tuneful tenaciousness.

I'll say this: Get Some is THE best Nashville Pussy album ever. All their past records pale in comparison to this fun album, epecially the sub par Say Something Nasty". If you had to own one Pussy album then this is it. They werent kidding when they said they were back in a big way. Daniel Ray produced it and concidering his history with the Ramones, I had to buy this on a whim. Plus a rock N roll cover of a Tina Turner song? Unbelievable. Get this record and then GET SOME!

The Good
The sexually opening track "Pussy Time" is purely juvenile in nature, but if I wasted at a roughneck bar, I'm not gonna care. I'll be pumping my fist to the high-energy rhythms asking from more. The opening lick to "Come On Come On" is just killer. Lead guitarist Ruyter Suys lays down more great licks during the breaks. "Going Down Swinging" has one of those choruses everyone can chant along with and relate to in some manner.

Blaine Cartwright sounds eerily like Alice Cooper on the lethal concoction "Hate and Whisky". Jeremy Thompson bangs the drums like a madman on "Hell Ain't What it Used to Be"; an ode to the Dark Lord himself. "Raisin' Hell Again" comes at you with break-neck speed and will leave you coughing in its dust. If you want a song that pretty much defines southern rock, look no further than Nashville Pussy's cover of "Nutbush City Limits".

The Bad
Vocalist Blaine Cartwright has no voice control when he challenges his range. Otherwise, he's perfect for this style of music.

The Verdict
Southern-fried, tractor-pullin', beer guzzlin', bar brawlin', hillbilly rock and roll!

The boys and girls are back for another over the top hard rocking glam fest that makes it feel like 1973. If you are not familar with Nashville Pussy, and that is highly possible because they will never get played on the radio, they are a hard rocking, glam banging, punk playing, bunch of red necked hillbillies. Take Skinner, AC/DC and add the vocals of Alice Cooper and out comes Pussy. As a matter of fact, the lead singer is sounding more and more like Alice Cooper with each record. And that ain't a bad thing at all. Some juvinile lyrics but who cares. It is guitar driven, attitude laced real rock and roll. You gotta love it.
