... a little rustic Tex Mex ... mellow Country-Folk. Warm acoustic guitars intertwine ... symphonious far-off vocal harmonies ...

5 out of 5 stars Contemporary folk/rock at its best!.......2006-03-26

I discovered the Bacon Brothers recently, through their debut album FOROSOCO. Having immensely enjoyed that particular record, I was slightly disappointed--at first--by the sleeker production of WHITE KNUCKLES. After a while, though--say, when "Unhappy Birthday" kicks into overdrive--I realized that change isn't always a bad thing...in fact, sometimes it's pretty darn good.

This is an album that will make you think. Whether it's the bitter irony of "What Am I Gonna Do Now," "Good News," and "Playboy," or the healing of "Unhappy Birthday," or the heartbreak of "Tuesday" and "Hasn't Got a Heart," or the yearning of "Get Away With It" and "Peace Dance," or...hell, you get the idea. WHITE KNUCKLES is a stellar record by two talented musicians--Kevin and Michael Bacon have forged some great records and some incredible songs, and this album stands as testimony that there is still hope out there for rock 'n roll.

Kevin and Michael, you are now an added treasure in my music collection. I am listening to "White Knuckles" for the first time as I write. Wow, there's some great music and the sound of your folky voices are purely to my liking. I play guitar so can appreciate the 6's and 12's going on. Terrific sounds!

NOW I HAVE ONE BEEF ! Please, on your next album, don't save a buck by allowing the designer to use fonts SO SMALL that they can't be read. I can't read them and first thing I wanted to do was read your lyrics.

MICHAEL - Loved your "makeover". Those Queer Guys are great, aren't they?

I don't know how you made it this far without me but I assure you, I'll be along for the rest of the ride. Wish I could afford all your albums now...... I'll be listening. Keep on keeping on............Bacon Boys! AND THANKS !

5 out of 5 stars Well worth the wait!.......2005-11-27

I have been a huge fan since the Can't Complain CD came out. I had heard them on Howard Stern and ever since then I have bought every CD they had made, including their live DVD. I have seen them in concert 4 times and during the last 3 times I had seen them over the course of 2 and a half years they played some of the songs from this CD. Songs like Tuesday, Unhappy Birthday, and especially Peace Dance I couldn't wait to have them in my collection. It felt like forever until they announced the release of White Knuckles for download so I downloaded it and it was worth the wait. Although I wished I had waited for the hard copy CD because there are 2 extra songs on the later version that are not available to download so I would have to buy an entire CD just for 2 songs. Peace Dance is my favorite of the CD, with a great beat. Tuesday is a sad song that incorporates Michael's chello in a way that the cello seems to be having a conversation with the lead guitar at the end of the song. Unhappy Birthday is also a meloncholy song about 9/11 that has a 60's sound to it. Other great upbeat songs are Good News, Write a Song, and What Am I Gonna Do?

The entire CD is great and I strongly recommend the hard copy, not the download version. Buy it today!

5 out of 5 stars Another Great One.......2005-11-03

I accidentally found The Bacon Brothers on a library CD rack and have been a huge fan ever since. My all time favorite used to be their Forosoco CD and it was hard to love the newer stuff as much as the old stuff(although I always eventually did), but with this new CD the love was instant. After downloading it in September it has had constant play in my CD changer ever since. Listen carefully to the lyrics, they make the songs not just fun to listen to, but fun to sing along to. Be sure to check out "Get Away" and "Good News", my two new favorites. "Tuesday" is pretty powerful also. Great job by a great band!

5 out of 5 stars WOW!.......2005-11-02

Talk about a quantum leap! The Bacon Brothers have been a decent band from their first album forward, but this new one is at a different level from the others. Yes, there are distinct influences of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, James Taylor, and even Donovan, but this band has proven that they are now in the same league with those acts, (well maybe not the Beatles)- and they prove it with every song on the disc. This is not just Michael and Kevin - this is a complete unit who have jelled into one of the best bands recording this type of music. More rock and roll than their previous albums - and oh so good. Too bad they will not get taken seriously. My Guess is that the critics won't give this band the credit it deserves because they can never get past the fact that a movie star is in the band. Too bad. Buy the album anyway.
