Country with an edge. (Not the New Kids on the Block, Kelly Clarkson, so called cross overs that people confuse as edgy). No disrespect to Toby Keith but we don't need a country version of a hip progressive mouth like Sunny Bono!

CCRW is country. Most real country bands, the minority they are, sound country only because their sound is like old country. CCRW actually belong to a little group of country singers, the smallest minority yet, that are both completely country AND original. Though it's as country as good old country songs, there is nobody that we can totally compare them to from the past. Their lyrics know our time. Sure, singing and moaning ballads about love and dreams helps are well traveled steps that others have followed to be more country. Yet, CCRW brings out truth and song as country as Hank William SENIOR.

Check em' out!

I don't like a lot of studio produced music. To me it has a sterile quality to it. Plus they frequently remove parts that would be played by the various members of the smaller band and add them back played by assorted other instruments. That's not this album. This is CCRW before any recording contracts; at there primal best. This is raw driving rock and roll, outlaw C&W, blues, all the above or whatever. But still, it rocks.

This cd was a bit disappointing. Although I like the band--The sound on the cd is a little empty sounding--I don't think they had hit their stride when this was recorded. There are some good songs here,but,overall not my favorite effort by this band.

This disc is as good as all the rest of CCR music. These guys are so seasoned and are superb musicians. For me, I learn a lot about a band by the company they keep, Jerry Jeff, Neil Young and Todd Snyder. I prefer their live recordings, because they are a great bar band. Just give a listen to this disc or any other by this band. I bet you agree...

IF YOU'VE "GOT WEED" YOU'LL ENJOY MORE LIVE PERFORMANCES TO ADD TO YOUR LIBRARY. THERE'S A FEW SONGS THAT AREN'T FULL-BORE ROCK THAT SHOWCASE THE BAND'S VARIED TASTE IN WHAT THEY RECORD. SURELY A "MUST HAVE" FOR THE AVID CCR FAN.

What a great CD. Live and raw. Captures the heart and soul of the honky tonk bar scene. It doesn't disappoint from beginning to end. "If I were president" is one of the best tracks on the album.
