4.0 out of 5 stars File next to The Band, Elvis Costello, Louvin Brothers..., April 16, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: High Hat (Audio CD)

I picked up this CD after seeing the band live in Athens, GA. In live performance the band sometimes wavered between glorious Replacements-style r'n'r slop and pristine country harmony. This CD, however, is unwaveringly brilliant. There is a unity of purpose and focus in all the songs that calls to mind the Band's masterpiece second album and Imperial Bedroom-era Elvis Costello, all wrapped up in Louvin Brothers/Stanley Brothers-style close-harmony singing. Production by the Twangtrust (Steve Earle/Ray Kennedy)is spot-on, giving the disc a timeless aura that places it in the same context as the above-mentioned artists/albums. Overall, this is a disc that is woefully underdiscovered, even in the "alt-country/No Depression" community. Once discovered, however, it will probably not leave your player.

I bought this CD after seeing Six String Drag a couple of times and being unable to get their songs out of my head. There is so much to love about this album. From the brilliant and heart felt lyrics to the infectious tempo right down to the happy clarinet, you won't be able to stop tapping your feet and singing along. I know that have another album out but so far have been unsuccessful getting my hands on it. If it is anything like this album (and I know it is) I would buy it in an instant!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd give this a 6 if I could, November 18, 1999

I've listened to all sorts of alt-country but this is IT! Unfortunately this band has broken up but this CD belongs in your collection even if you don't like alt-country that much.
