5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Demented, and Thoughtful all at once--A Classic!, February 5, 1999

Five years ago, I saw the Rugburns in concert in San Diego, prompted by hearing local hit "Hitchhiker Joe" on the radio. They were incredible. "Morning Wood" is at once funny, demented, and touching, not at all coming off corny. Check out "I Want to Learn About Love," "Gold's Gym Guy", and the beautifully introspective "Hollister Street." All in all, one of my favorite albums of the 90's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Album Ever, March 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Morning Wood (Audio CD)

Like I said above, this is THE BEST ALBUM EVER. Almost every song is great- for the liberal listener with a sense of humor. I love this album more than the guy that introduced me (which I think partially explains where our relationship went wrong- that, and that I think "Gold's Gym Guy" intimidated him). Anyway, absolutely fabulous music. It's mostly upbeat, and sends a good, wholesome message that the whole family can enjoy. No, wait... it's totally raunchy, but wonderful.

This review is from: Morning Wood (Audio CD)

I was stationed in San Diego with the Navy while these guys were playing in the bars that I would visit. I bought this album in a bar during one of their shows when it was first released. I played the hell out of it during a 6 month deployment in late 94, and then somehow during my transfer to Hawaii in 95 I misplaced the CD.

I can't say how many times I've thought of the album in the 7 years since, and missed having it, and today, out of boredom I do a search here, and there it is! Amazing!

This band deserves to be around as much as Barenaked Ladies. The lyrics are cleverly amusing. It's a shame these guys never found themselves in the right place at the right time - they belong side-by-side with BNL, Cake, etc. Buy this CD - you won't regret it.
