I heard a demo tape of Sixwire, and the song "Look at me now," I doubted that whole album could possibly be as good as that one track. But, when I got the CD, it is all GOOD! The music makes you want to dance around! Even my 8 and 17 year old like the music. It makes you laugh, jump, cry, and think about some stuff - classic country rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, August 28, 2002

FINALLY a fresh original country band that is comprised of seriously talented artists! If you like original and organic material, with quality songwriting, performance and explosive sound, this debut album from Sixwire will blow you away! I would describe this band as being influenced by the great harmony and guitar bands like the Eagles and Poco. I usually get bored quickly, but I haven't taken this out of my player since I bought it. This album just feels good and the depth of this CD will have me hooked for a long time!

4.0 out of 5 stars Forget their image--listen to their music!, April 26, 2003

This review is from: Sixwire (Audio CD)

The image the band presents is pretty pop. Forget it. Sure, there is some pop influence in their music--pretty much any country music artist today has that. But the songs on this album, whether infused with pop, rock, or blues, are all country to the bone.

For a commercial-sounding band, Sixwire has gotten very little airplay. Not to worry--that doesn't mean they lack talent. Far from it! These are five of the best singer/musicians Nashville has to offer, featuring the superb vocals of Andy Childs and the smooth songwriting of Steve Mandile.

It is Mandile's songwriting and producing that shines most on this album. "Way Too Deep" and "Say it Simple" look at the joy of love, while "Look At Me Now" looks at the joy of life. "I Heard That" and "I Can't Help How I Feel" examine the downside of love. "Brave Soul" talks about the warrior within us all, while "Jack" looks at the lives everyday people lead--of course the catch-phrase is "You don't know Jack." Cliche, yes, but it works.

This album is, at one moment, rocking and harmonic, and the next it's quiet and smooth. One song's so uplifting a smile comes to your face; the next song, you're crying. "Sixwire" is an album worth buying, and Sixwire is a band worth watching. They may not be topping the charts (yet), but they're making damn good music. Buy this album and see what all the fuss is about.
