Giving Something Back is such an awesome cd. You really start to make a personal connection to the band with this record. They weren't as powerful live back then as they are now, but it's still a great cd. You really start to see their personalities shine through, like frontman Jimi Haha's humor. It's also the only cd where you can get the song "React", which is wonderful, and "Vacuum". If you like Pushing the Salmanilla Envelope, then you will love this. All of your favorites off of that album are alive and kicking on this one.

I first heard jimmie's chicken shack when a friend brought there first major label release over adn tried to get me to play it on my guitar. That is when the affair started. since then i have bought every album they have. i bought this one while i was at a concert of The Shacks. The concert was awesome and so is this band, the cd does a great job of showing their energy live adn how much they can control a crowd. So if you want a great live cd adn you like good "mutt rock" as they are called, buy this album. i dont think you will be sorry.

None of the available JCS albums does the band justice in terms of raw energy. "Giving somethingback" gives the listener only a small taste of the live performance - the forum in which this band truly shines. Although now down to two original members, JCS is still forging new areas of music with their self-proclaimed "mutt-rock".

Jimmie's Chicken Shack really DOES give something back. They play great live, and are a lot of fun. This cd rally rocks, give it a listen!

..yes i am.. dont even try to argue. i met em all. i luv em all. This cd is suuper.

Sure they are from my home state; they draw bazillions of dirty dreadlocked underage pothead,"I go to college dude" urchins(dirt hippies we call 'em), got signed to a major label, but they have no tunes! Somebody give these guys a clue what songwriting is. It certainly isn't running around saying dirty words with no shirt on, trying to be a fifth rate Chili Peppers/ Jane's Addiction (both yucko too!,as well as ancient history ). I was given this disc for free at one of their shows(which was hard enough to take)and promptly sold it to the used CD store after one painful listen. People must get the impression that this garbage is all the state of Maryland has to offer musically;we also have a thriving roots music/alternative country,garage rock, and power pop scene that these guys and their Fowl records disciples are not part of. They have inspired an insipid cult of imitaters,that think they are going to get signed too, that need to be ignored.
