Editorial Reviews

During the '80's, The Windbreakers (along with R.E.M., the dB's, and Let's Active) were one of the leading lights of the southern pop edge of the college music scene. The band released a handful of albums and EP's (mostly on the great DB label out of Atlanta) that found critical acclaim in Billboard and Rolling Stone. Following a reunion in 2001, the band has returned to record 2 new tracks (one written by friend, Neilson Hubbard) with longtime producer (and drummer) Mitch Easter included on this release along with classics like New Red Shoes, Run, and That Stupid Idea. This anthology covers 2 decades of great jangle pop - 20 tracks in all!

Musical guests include Mitch Easter, Faye Hunter (Let’s Active), Richard Barone (Bongos), Steve Roback (Rain Parade),, Matt Piucci (Rain Parade), Will Glenn (Rain Parade), Bruce Golden and Joe Partridge

Tim Lee and Bobby Sutliff have been songwriting legends of the South for over two decades, creating and playing some of the most well-crafted, elegant pop songs this side of Younger Than Yesterday. Together as the Windbreakers and separately as solo artists, the two are responsible for some twenty records. Time Machine is a should’ve-been-Greatest Hits with highlights from 20 years of recorded material.

Ok...disclaimer..I am from Mississippi, as are the band. However.....it still blows my mind why The Windbreakers did not garner the success that REM, or even the db's did. This is a total gem of a collection. Each track is superb, and sounds fresh even today. Do yourself a favor....if you love rock and roll (call it jangle rock, or whatever)....buy this album. If you love old REM.....buy this album and see for yourself. While you are at it, check out the Tim Lee 3....he is still making great music.
