I loved their last cd so much that when I heard that they had a new cd I picked it up straight away. This one is easily as great as the last one and there can be no doubt that these guys are the real deal! They are truly one of the handful of the best bands going right now. This cd is cleaner and more straightforward bluegrass than the last one so if you have not already fallen in love with these guys and are not sure if you like bluegrass or not you might want to start with the last one because it will make a fan of anyone who loves music. If you like bluegrass or already ara a fan buckle your seat belt and keep your hands within the car at all times during the ride. Check out 'Statesboro Blues' and how to cover a song and truly transform it. 'Johnson Family' has this european lilt to break up the bluegrass sound and is stupendous. As it always seems to be with these guys there isn't a bad song on the whole cd. You can not go wrong pickin' up this one.

This band is addictive.

They're not preservationist old-time, but they have everything that makes old-time and jug-band music so appealing: Melody, rhythm, and attitude. The lyrics are mainly modern but they don't clash with the music.

TDMT also don't sound as "schtick-y" as many heavily OT-inspired bands. They don't sing in fake drawls, they aren't deliberately shrill, they aren't patronizing. Their cover of "Statesboro Blues" is their own but is respectful of earlier versions.

This review is from: Do Wrong Right (Audio CD)

I first saw these guys in Santa Cruz in 2004 when they were the talk of the town, and I've been enjoying their albums and live shows ever since. "Do Wrong Right" is the album I'd always knew they could make. Although the songwriting was never a weak suit for DM3, this album takes it to another level. Virtually every song on here as as good or better than anything that's come before. They may have set aside some of the overt "punk" edge in the music, but the storytelling hasn't lost its bite. "Car Crash," a reflective, mournful country ballad, cuts particularly deep and is an instant classic.

The recording takes full advantage of their record label's backing. The band seamlessly blends in three-part harmony, slide guitar, a little electric, and some hot pedal steel. This is an old-time country record, through and through, packed with melody and musicianship. When I get to the end, I start it over again. Listen to the samples, and if you like what you hear, you'll love this band. Highly recommended for fans of any kind of music.
