Editorial Reviews

Product Description
In a career that has given rise to more than a decade's worth of fine-tuned, highly anticipated and wonderfully received music, the Derailers continue to build the relationship between song, listener and dance floor. Each album has been a mix of well-crafted original songs and cover songs so thoughtfully chosen and so representative of the band, that fans think they are as original as the band themselves. Challenged by their fans to create a sound that mirrors the shuffle of happy boots on a hardwood floor, the Derailers have fed the hungry dancehall crowds with their classic country beats and a 60s pop sensibility.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finest Derailers Yet!, November 22, 2008

By	ictamots (Chattanooga) - See all my reviews

I've been a fan of The Derailers for years, and am so happy to have discovered this latest release. 'Soldiers' had some nice spots, but was definitely a turning point; 'Buck' was a terrific tribute, but nothing original; 'Guaranteed' is the real deal, and perhaps the finest recording from this Austin band ever!

Produced by band-leader Brian Hofeltd, his production sequel after the great 'Under the Influence of Buck' release, I began to wonder why they ever bothered with outside producers - Brian is more than capable as a producer, and this latest project is high on my list of great sounds.

The album itself features some of the best new songs I've heard from the D's in years, including the Tony period, and makes it clear that the corner of the band has been completely turned from the old to the new -- this is a strong, well-produced and enjoyable CD.

The title sums it up for me -- if you are a fan of independent music, with a Bakersfield-meets-Beatles edge, this release is more than satisfactory.

5.0 out of 5 stars The new band has found their sound, January 23, 2009

By	James Pulsifer (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've always loved the Derailers, and when Tony Villaneuva left, it was a big blow. I'm very happy that Brian continued on with the band, and with this CD, they've finally nailed their new sound. It's a bit different and more 60's oriented, a little less countrified, but a great sound nonetheless. Give this CD a shot and you won't be disappointed. Brian is a very talented singer, writer, and producer (he produced this CD). Guaranteed to Satisfy!

5.0 out of 5 stars They are finding their groove again and it is solid., December 7, 2008

By	Michael F. Knight "[e-mail]" (Manvel, Texas USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I agree with the first 5 star review. I wondered what would be the result after Tony left the band. I liked "Soldier of Love" but the band still looked liked it was trying to find its identity. The Buck tribute was well done but I wanted to hear the originality from the past Derailers. Brian well done!!! I saw "Guaranteed to Satisfy" during Black Friday and bought it. I have enjoyed listening to it ever since I bought it. 2nd track gets the most play. The music is tight and the harmonies are great. I will be checking the homepage to see when you are playing near here to go see you guys live.
