5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't get any better, December 29, 2004

I have not played any CD more than this one in years. I bought it listened to it and forgot about it. For some reason I missed how good it was on first listen. "Stay Away Girl" and "Nobody Loves You" This is how the Stones used to sound when they were really good. Too bad rock this good is so hard to find. I cannot recommend this enough!

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE TTHE GREENHORNES, July 9, 2001

For anybody who hasn't had the pleasure of seeing the Greenhornes live and in person, this record is a good example of what they are all about: Raw, unpretentious, straight up rock and roll. Stellar tracks: "I Can't Stand It", "Lonely Feeling" and "Can't You See". Think early Rolling Stones, Animals... My only complaint about this record is that it does not do the band justice on how good they really are.

This review is from: The Greenhornes (Audio CD)

If today's garage rock scene suddenly fell off the map, only to be resurrected some years later by a Lenny Kaye type compiling a 21st Century version of "Nuggets," the Greenhornes would surely have the same kind of respect today's garage afficionados afford to classic bands like the Standells, the Remains and the Sonics.
As things stand, the Greenhornes are absolutely, beyond a doubt, one of the best bands playing real, live, raw rock and roll music today, and one of the most powerul live acts currently gracing America's stages.
On their second full-length album, The Greenhornes rock out with breathtaking passion and energy. "Lies" has all the snot and vitriol of the best 60's pounders, while the band's brooding side is captured perfectly on tracks like "Let Me Be" and "Stay Away Baby." And the group's taste in covers is equally impressive. Their take on the Animals' "Inside Looking Out" is a mind-bending acid opus, and "It's My Soul" conjures up more authentic blues flavor than a bunch of 25-year-old guys from Cincinnati should rightfully be able to handle.
With soulful, world-weary vocals, potboiling organ and more fuzz than you can shake a Tele Custom at -- "Greenhornes" is a garage rock classic to be.
