Exile in Motor City,
By Max Frost (Chicago) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Starving Winter Report (Audio CD)
It's impossible to review this album without mentioning the Rolling Stones, so I won't try. Picture Saint Gram recording with the Stones around 1972 and you have a pretty good idea what this sounds like. Good, weary dragged out sound. Chicago's Bloodshot Records should keep visiting Detroit after their last two releases by the Deadstring Brothers and the excellent Detroit Cobras. Starving Winter Report is recommended, with bonus points for a great dead on cover of the Band's Get Up Jake.

Don't Miss This One,
By Joe Melchert "Joe Melchert" (Kansas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Starving Winter Report (Audio CD)
If you like The Flying Burrito Bros, and the Burritofied Stones material that followed, you are sure to love this cd. Other influences would include Dylan and maybe even a touch of Counting Crows. No matter. This is rocking music that is genuine, earthy and unpretentious. Terrific vocals, even if the lead does sound a bit Mick Jaggerish at times. This is not "techno club" music, but rather front porch music with your good friends and a few beers on a warm summer evening. It's at once familiar and yet fresh and new at the same time. Need a break from music that feels like it was computer generated? Something with humor and a touch of steel guitar? Rootsy and joyous? Look no further, you're home.

An unexpected gem of 2006,

This review is from: Starving Winter Report (Audio CD)
While seeing Shooter Jennings on tour this year, I originally didn't even think about showing up until after any and all opening acts had finished their sets. I am SO glad that I showed up early! Not only does this band capture their live sound on album incredibly well, but I was even repeating songs on my ride home (after the band signed my CD after their show) that I'd wanted to hear again after their performance. The band is tight, the production is impeccable and the songs themselves are really well done. There's not one track on this album I ever skip over. My personal favorites are the Get Up Jake, Toe the Line, Moonlight Only Knows (which I've played at least 5 times on my radio show since purchasing the album) and Talkin' Born Blues. This is a great addition to the library of anyone who digs traditional country, country-twinged rock or country-flavored blues.
