If it's true that "Home Is Where the Van Is," as the ninth song on Limbeck's third record indicates, then this Orange County, CA foursome often resides in Atlanta, Austin, Minneapolis, Seattle and on every tour step in-between. The hard-traveling, studio-vibrant band leans on the carefree Southern Cal rock stylings of pre-Henley Eagles and Poco, and the shoot-from-the-hip delivery of debut-album Wilco and Big Star's Radio City, to bottle its own brand of pop wielding country-rock. Co-producer Gary Louris of the Jayhawks recorded the band live, adroitly plugging into Limbeck's on-stage stash for 13 songs that contemplate being yourself ("People Don't Change"), generational inevitability ("Names For Dogs") and passing the Golden State smog test--with a sandy wink at the Beach Boys ("'91 Honda"). Complemented by keyboards, accordion, harmonica, glockenspiel, sitar and many-a-guest backing vocal, Let Me Come Home plays like a coherent set list from a band you hope will play all night. --Scott Holter

Product Description

Limbeck have built a foundation of Big Star and Tom Petty-inflected power pop that has evolved into their own take on classic rock. Limbeck's Let Me Come Home is the culmination of all of their previous songwriting-a gritty, mid-tempo bunch of rock tunes that levels Limbeck's contemporaries with momentum, fury and humor. Limbeck have fashioned themselves as the Kerouac of rock and roll.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's Limbeck..., August 14, 2005

By	M. Miser (CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I heard Limbeck's first album, it was one of the few bands where I could actually imagine what their follow-up would sound like. Because there songs do sound a lot alike, country-ish, bouncy, just fun, and when I picked up this album, that's exactly what I got, just again. It's the debut, but slightly better in every aspect. Why 4 stars? well 5 stars is a lot for most bands in my cd case, heh. wonderful album from a wonderful band, if you like Limbeck then I'm pretty sure you'll eat this up, which all in all, is very easy to do.

By	Dan (New Haven, CT) - See all my reviews

This CD is a laid-back easy-going joyride. It's really sweet and innocently enjoyable! Carefully constructed pop rock that both makes you smile and think. It's a care-free good time!
