4.0 out of 5 stars My first review for quite a while......, August 22, 2006

All you holier than thou indie types out there can bag Amazon.com all you like, but for so many of us out here it can be a goldmine of things we never would have otherwise heard. Two Cow Garage are a classic example of that. The thread of how I came to them is now forgotten, but as I listen (again) to "the wall against our back" I am reminded of those moments in your life where you wouldn't trade your love of music for anything. Music that can put a soundtrack to feelings you sometimes can't even describe. Like the first time I heard the intensity of the Replacements, or Whiskeytown, or Husker Du and wished I was living in their town (or even their country) so I could see them play before they burnt out. Two Cow Garage will probably never play Perth, Western Australia, but hopefully one day I will get to the USA. After a drive all day in no particular direction, I'll pull into some no name town with some no name bar, and Two Cow Garage will be busy tearing the place a new one. The bastard offspring of Steve Earle and Rancid.And if any of you end up in outback Australia in similar circumstances, I hope the Drones are playing. Check out "Wait long by the river and the bodies of your enemies will float by".
The CD gets four stars because I think you should only award any CD five stars years down the track if you're still listening to it. Guess I'll get back to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars keeping the faith, October 18, 2005

If the demise of Uncle Tupelo left a hole in your heart that the Jayhawks, Old 97s and Ryan Adams have not managed to fill, your luck is about to change. Paint peelin', real dealin', roots rock n' roll, made in America. Short listed album in the "alt.country" tradition, with Uncle Tupelo, "No Depression," Nadine, "Downtown Saturday," Whiskeytown, "Faithless Street," and Slobberbone, "Everything You Thought Was Right." Get the disc, then grab your earplugs and get to a show.

This band rocks. Plain and simple. I don't know if it was the falling of the Berlin Wall and the consequential end of the Cold War that dampered rockin' almost to an end, but this is a new era, we have a new war, and now new leaders for the new era of Rock and Roll. Two guitars and a drum set, mix in some serious rockin' hard, and you have the cool, crisp, and refreshing sound of Two Cow. Rock almost died, but you, our saviors have come to resurrect the Rock! Thank you my friends, thank you more than you know.
