5.0 out of 5 stars Bakersfield Sound Lives!, September 29, 1998

This review is from: Jackpot (Audio CD)

Anyone who has seen the Derailers live knows that the Amazon.com reviewer has not. This CD, the Derailers first, showcases the Austin faves take on the classic Bakersfield sound. Picking up the torch from Buck Owens and Dwight Yoakam, the Derailers add Austin flavor, peppered with lots of nods and winks to country's golden days. But this is not a band lost in the 50's. This is musical craftmanship at its best. Their latest, Reverb Deluxe is also excellent. Do yourself a favor: buy both and then get down to your favorite music hall to see these boys live.

5.0 out of 5 stars CD, Band are great, January 22, 2002

This is the Derailers' first disc and it epitomizes fun music. If you have ever seen the Derailers live, you know that they give 150% to every show and are consu
mately professional entertainers. If you like twangy, somewhat old-timey music that played by a tight band and sung with a lot of heart, then give this disc a whirl. Sunsequent albums are also good -- this is the least polished, rawest album by the Derailers. I think that some are out of touch with what the Derailers are trying to achieve -- making high quality, fun, twangy music. This stuff is not meant to change the world or change your mind about issues of the day. It's fun music to dance to, to sing along to, and to play for friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the type of country I remember growing up with!!!!!, December 22, 2001

Music with heart, a bass line hits deep in the heart, and a rythem you can't keep your feet from moving to. This is the type of music I remember growing up with... Not a bunch of glitz with no heart but something you can listen to over and over to. A friend of mine bought "full western dress" as a birthday present for me when he saw them at Houston's Continental Club. I couldn't stop listening to it and had to pick up my bass to play a few licks. Listening to Lover's Lie, Lost and Found,etc.. and you'll know what I mean. Hey Steel Guitar still lives in Texas thanks to these guys!!(...) I'm putting this review on every cd because after hearing them on "Full Western Dress" I bought everything else they had on here and was not dissappointed.
