Jagger/dylan combo.......2006-06-07

I like the music, but when lead singer Marschke isn't sounding like Mick Jagger, he sounds like Bob Dylan. It's not a disk I will listen to frequently (although it's got great hooks) because all the songs sound similar, and that gets boring after a while. Have to give the guys a point for being from my hometown, Detroit.

Americana Rock and Roll at its finest.......2006-04-03

I think this album is amazing...deadstring bros. aren't trying to re-invent the wheel...but they manage to make the wheel much shinier...they sound awesome...there are no weak links in this group...vocals are perfect, Kurt Marshke sounds undeniably like an early mick jagger, harmonies with Masha Marjieh are powerful and haunting...the honky-tonk sound from the guitars, bass, and piano are nostalgic and fluid...i hope this band never changes its formula...I can only imagine what they must sound like live!

Exile in Motor City.......2006-03-08

It's impossible to review this album without mentioning the Rolling Stones, so I won't try. Picture Saint Gram recording with the Stones around 1972 and you have a pretty good idea what this sounds like. Good, weary dragged out sound. Chicago's Bloodshot Records should keep visiting Detroit after their last two releases by the Deadstring Brothers and the excellent Detroit Cobras. Starving Winter Report is recommended, with bonus points for a great dead on cover of the Band's Get Up Jake.

An unexpected gem of 2006.......2006-12-15

While seeing Shooter Jennings on tour this year, I originally didn't even think about showing up until after any and all opening acts had finished their sets. I am SO glad that I showed up early! Not only does this band capture their live sound on album incredibly well, but I was even repeating songs on my ride home (after the band signed my CD after their show) that I'd wanted to hear again after their performance. The band is tight, the production is impeccable and the songs themselves are really well done. There's not one track on this album I ever skip over. My personal favorites are the Get Up Jake, Toe the Line, Moonlight Only Knows (which I've played at least 5 times on my radio show since purchasing the album) and Talkin' Born Blues. This is a great addition to the library of anyone who digs traditional country, country-twinged rock or country-flavored blues.

Don't Miss This One.......2006-09-23

If you like The Flying Burrito Bros, and the Burritofied Stones material that followed, you are sure to love this cd. Other influences would include Dylan and maybe even a touch of Counting Crows. No matter. This is rocking music that is genuine, earthy and unpretentious. Terrific vocals, even if the lead does sound a bit Mick Jaggerish at times. This is not "techno club" music, but rather front porch music with your good friends and a few beers on a warm summer evening. It's at once familiar and yet fresh and new at the same time. Need a break from music that feels like it was computer generated? Something with humor and a touch of steel guitar? Rootsy and joyous? Look no further, you're home.

I Borrowed it and I won't give it back.......2005-07-13

A friend lent this to me and I've listened to it about a hundred times. At first I wondered who they sound like- actually, I still wonder, but with the help of other friends I've narrowed it down to a cross of early Dylan-honkytonk Mick (with a spalsh of Elton John- just a bit- don't get scared.I shouldn't have mentioned it.)
But they're kinda addictive. I wish I was musically sophisticated enough to describe it better, but I'm not. If I lost this CD, I would definitely replace it- something I usually only do for Uncle Tupelo. So, I guess I'll be buying it since the one I'm wearing out isn't even mine.
