2.0 out of 5 stars Long fall from Longfall, September 21, 2006

This review is from: Lost Trailers (Audio CD)

There are a couple OK tracks on this disc but this is far and away NOT the same Lost Trailers that put out some of my favorite music of the past few years.

Gone are the well crafted, story like lyrics and any sound of Southern rock. Those great stories (Longfall, Pontchartrain, Love & War, West End, Dougherty County, Under FM Waves and SO many more) and great music (See above as well as Red Sun, Sitting on Top of the World and Down in the Valley) have been replaced by Gravy, Dixie Boy Special & I'm a Country Man and the same old radio friendly country sound you can hear from anyone.

The sad irony in this are the lyrics to Under FM Waves (from New Age Cowboy) and how they talk about how much great music resides off radio--and look at what has happened: songs to created to make it on radio (which granted, should make them big).

Try their other 3 available cd's (Story of the New Age Cowboy, Trailer Trash and Welcome to the Woods). They have some other very hard to find music out there but these 3 should be available (Trailer Trash is a mix of songs from Rock Band, songs that ended up on Welcome, etc).

P.S. to the last review--Ryder Lee is the lead vocalist. Geoffrey Stokes Neilson is the guitarist and lead songwriter.

Very dissapointing...The Lost Trailers are obviously hoping for Country Music airplane on this latest release. They certainly can no-longer be considered an alt.county band. The songs are terribly shallow - unlike anything they had released before.
Welcome to thew Woods was so good...this is lousy.

Why the change in music philosophy guys?

Let me start this by saying that the first time I heard the Lost Trailers album "Welcome To The Woods" I fell in love with their music. They had an amazing sound, powerful lyrics, and a magical combination of songs that I still listen to over and over and over. It's one of my favorite albums to this day.

So I was so excited to see this CD come out, and the day it was released I rushed down to my local record store, picked up the album, got to the car played it and was instantly completely disappointed. They had traded in their wonderful alt-country-rock/roots rock/southern rock sound for sold out country. I'm even a fan of most of the local original Country acts here in Texas, but the style of music that The Lost Trailers decided to produce on this album was a wretched style of sold-out-Nashville country that screams of hopeful radio singles and drunk rednecks screaming your music in a trashy bar.

I listened to the album 3 times completely through, hoping that I would be interested, or find some gem of a song that would keep my faith in the band but I didn't. So now the album sits in the bottom of my drawer and doesn't even rank a spot on the ipod.

If you want good music, this album isn't it. If you want to see what we all lost when The Lost Trailers sold out, go buy Welcome To The Woods, you'll be amazed at the difference. Don't buy this album unless your favorite artist is Toby Keith.
