When we
realize our insignificance in this world,
it some how relieves the
pressures from society to succeed -

I wasn’t in the mood to
listen to another CD from some new band that I’ve never heard of before
and try and find something good out of it. I had some work to do on the
computer and figured I’d pop it in and listen to it as some background
music.
An hour later my foot was sore from tapping to the rhythms coming out of
my speakers. This is one of those CD’s that you’re going to put in and
end up being in a good mood after you’re done listening to it. Since
that first listen, I’ve had it in the truck for a week now and haven’t
got sick of it yet. It’s definitely the kind of music you’re never going
to put in at some rave or the next time you and your girl want to do
some horizontal wrestling, but driving around in the car or doing work
in the garage, this is what you want to listen to.
I thought it was very refreshing to hear some banjo and a fiddle mixed
in with some country, bluegrass and rock-n-roll. I cant figure out
what category to label this music in and I’m not sure what genre you
would consider it? Maybe a little Big & Rich meets Jason Mraz, with a
touch of hip-hop and salsa.
It's not
your typical old-school banjo picking country music that comes to mind
when you think of Nashville. This is new and very well put together.
Once I found out that they write all of their own music and play all
their own instruments, I had much more respect for the band.
If you want to hear something different than what every other band is
doing, get this new debut CD and check it out. It’s great to hear some
new sounds in this day and age when most bands are sampling and copying
off of the last big thing.
