This review is from: Take That Ride (Audio CD)

R.B is a near-legend here in Knoxville. Take that Ride is filled with images of moonshine runnin', fist-fightin' and hard-drinkin' down in the mountain hollers. R.B.'s take on Robert Mitchum's Ballad of Thunder Road puts you in a hopped-up Plymouth sliding around a dirt road, one step in front of the law. Just like O'Hanlon, I'll take tobacco in my tea.

R.B. sings stories like few folks who are alive today. This is a CD to treasure and send to all who you love as a dandy gift. For a real treat, track down his limited-release cassette "Local-Man", which features one of the finest back-up bands ever.

R B Morris has made a perfect little jewel with this album, Take That Ride.
I have seen him perform many times in Knoxville, TN, and heard many of these songs live at local performances before this album was released.
His songwriting is poetry, evocative of place and brings you into the song in a personal way. The band is tight, the music just the right amount of country, with R B's ability to ride the fence between rock and folk.
I think anyone who has ever enjoyed a Dylan song will find something special here.
