Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Band of Heathens, The Band of Heathens. Known for their live albums, the best Austin band of 2007 (Austin Chronicle) shows that Austin's indie spirit is alive and well with this set that feels like the young Eagles come to Texas, mix it up with the locals and play to the fans rather than the industry hipsters. Smart southern/country rock that has some heartland heart running through it as well. A sure bet for anyone that's ever grooved to that vibe and wants more without it being more of the same. Often described as this millennium's bastard stepchild of the mating of Little Feat and The Band. Produced by Ray Wylie Hubbard if that's keeping it real enough for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Country, rock, blues and folk from Austin, TX, June 26, 2008
Having gravitated to one another's live sets at Momo's in Austin, Texas, songwriters Colin Brooks, Gordy Quist and Ed Jurdi (together with bassist Seth Whitney and drummer John Chipman) formed The Band of Heathens and released their 2006 debut as, unsurprisingly, "Live at Momo's." More unusually, their follow-up was also a live disc, and it wasn't until this 2008 release that the quintet settled down to record in a proper studio. Their combination of country, rock and blues has a distinctly southern flavor, venturing towards Southern Rock and stadium-sized energy of John Mellancamp's heartland singalongs, but remaining rootsy throughout. There are numerous antecedents here, including the bluesy melting pot of Little Feat, the 1970s rock-goes-country Rolling Stones, the eclecticism of Commander Cody and NRBQ, and the rustic sentiments of The Band.

Produced by the legendary Ray Wylie Hubbard, the disc's eleven songs cover a lot of ground, from multi-part harmony-laden country to electric blues rock. The Southern fried gospel blues of "Unsleeping Eye" nods vigorously to Little Feat, and the mandolin and pump organ (courtesy of Stephen Bruton and Gurf Morlix, respectively) of "Second Line" add a lazy New Orleans drawl. Patty Griffin adds her voice to "Maple Tears" sad story of cross-border broken hearts, and the oil-rigger's tale, "Nine Steps Down" has an irresistible radio-ready melody. Among the most successful productions are the album's simplest, such as the gentle arrangement of Ed Jurdi's love song, "40 Days," and the salacious backporch blues "Cornbread," featuring producer Hubbard on slide guitar.

The Band of Heathens mix of blues, rock, country and folk brings to mind the ground-breaking experiments of the late `60s and early `70s, as well as the more commercially-oriented efforts of acts like The Ozark Mountain Daredevils and Eagles. The results neatly provide country music fans a respite from the pop productions of Nashville's mainstream without resorting to the archness of alt.country opposition. [©2008 hyperbolium dot com]

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Texas Band, December 28, 2008
While visiting in San Antonio over the summer, these guys were on a local morning news show. I liked them right away, even though I'm not a huge country listener. They have a good sound and most of the tracks on this CD are ones I really like. Of course, my favorite is "Heart on My Sleeve," the one I heard in the beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars Been great from the beginning..., March 9, 2009
By Clay Dixon "Clay" (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've seen these guys live since they used to back each other up when they each played individually at MoMo's a few years ago. It was only natural when they decided to form the band that is now The Band of Heathens. To this day, they continue to amaze me at how they continue to grow as a group with their distinct sound that seems to cover so much of the music not only from Austin, but also many of the surrounding areas in the south. All their albums are great and the songs never seem to get old but these guys' real appeal is in their live shows... check them out if you get a chance!

Austin band that wears its allegiance to Little Feat proudly. How can you miss when Ray Wylie Hubbard produces and Patty Griffin joins in for three songs?
