Biography

Whether you think The Gourds non-sequitur loving n'ere-do-wells or post-modern lyrical geniuses, their mandala-like musical vignettes and gulps of down-home authenticity can not be denied. Musical lifers and road dogs to the end, Kevin 'Shinyribs' Russell, Jimmy Smith, Max Johnston, Keith Langford and Claude Bernard remain at once roots music's envelope pushers and its torch bearers, its purveyors… Read more in Amazon's Gourds Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most talented bands you've never heard of America, March 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Stadium Blitzer (Audio CD)
Undoubtedly one of the most origingal bands out there today. If you are an Uncle Tupelo fan, you will definitely relate to their style. I've seen them twice in there hometown of Austin,TX. and they are just as good live as they are on CD. If you are looking for something new,you won't be disappointed in these guys.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fresh, vivid, jubilant celebration of American music., June 8, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Stadium Blitzer (Audio CD)
Stadium Blitzer is a fresh, vivid, jubilant celebration of Americana, by a band that is destined to become a cornerstone in the reclamation of honest, rough-hewn, emotive acoustic music. The influences here run from Bill Monroe to Townes Van Zandt to Bruce Springstein to the Minutemen. It's a very live-sounding album, evoking the spontaneous energy of a lamp-lit late night jam session. The songs are loosely stitched musical folktales, driven by the energy and chemistry of one of the tightest bands recording today. What is most impressive about Stadium Blitzer is the emotional depth it achieves, from the delicacy of a quirky ballad such as "I Like Drinkin'" to the intoxicating thrill of "Pine Island Bayou." Overall, this music is so purely fun that it's easy to get swept away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just as good the second time around, September 8, 2006
By 
This review is from: Stadium Blitzer (Audio CD)
This, the Gourds second effort, is as good as the first. You can't help but rock out to Lament and Magnolia. Cold Bed is beautiful and Pushed Her Down is classic. You will not be disappointed.
