The Derailers' problem: If you love a band that sounds as perfectly like Ray Price and Buck Owens as the Derailers do, then why not buy some vintage Price and Owens instead? Reverb Deluxe occasionally confronts this problem by including a few more influences than on previous releases: "California Angel" is Gram Parsons-style country rock; two other songs suggest the Nashville Sound. But even on these cuts, the Derailers are sowing a fairly narrow field--and with songwriting that doesn't live up to their heroes'. So the problem remains. The concluding, hidden, track, a Bakersfield-styled cover of "Raspberry Beret," is an entertaining novelty, but no solution. --David Cantwell

More Essential Listening.......2007-04-27
Great Twang, Great Songs.......2005-06-16
I bought this CD in 1999. It's 2005 now. And I still love this CD. This is one of those rare CD's where every track is catchy enough to grab your attention from the first listen. But there's so many little details & extra little touches - that the tracks still stand up to MANY repeated listens.
There are a few "heartache" numbers on this CD that I really love. (Can't Stop a Train, No One To Talk to But the Blues, Dull Edge of the Blade). But for the most part, this is an upbeat CD. It really puts me in a good mood, and makes me wanna dance!
If you ever get a chance to see these guys live - don't miss it. These guys obviously have a great time on stage, and you can't help but catch a little of that good vibe!
Some people would complain that these guys are re-hashing the Bakersfield sound. Like there's a problem with that? The Derailers pay homage to a great era of country music. And the songwriting is strong enough that they make a vintage style sound fresh.

super good.......2002-10-28
[a 'hidden' track at the end]...I used to listen to 'country-rock' in the 70s...bemoaned the loss of it...but now these guys and others like 'em have brought it back-but even better

Product Description
Legendary Los Angeles rock band Bluebeard is back with their first album in over 20 years. Described by some as Train with more edge -- as well as a distinctive 70s vibe -- Bluebeard's sound reflects rock influences from the 70s, 80s, 90s and today. Copies of their 1979 independent LP "Bad Dream" regularly sell on collectors' web sites with asking prices as high as $500. Bluebeard has a devoted underground fan base and in their heyday played dates with everyone from Van Halen to The Motels to Steppenwolf and many other great bands. Radio and Records wrote: "The thing people like about Bluebeard is the makeup of the band. They all play a dozen instruments and with that kind of mobility, they can do things to a tune that's bigger than life." The suicide of original lead singer Barry Leech in 2004 created a catalyst from which the band found new meaning and a singular focus to once and for all bring their unique brand of music to the world. This release includes a tribute to the past with a duet between Leech and new frontman Elington Erin. The CD version includes bonus material not available on the digital album. Tracks: 1. I Don't Know About Me 2. Paint It Black 3. How Difficult Is That? 4. The Sleeper & The Dreamer 5. Love Is Nowhere 6. Pretty Vegas 7. Authority Man 8. Take A Little Time Out 9. A Love To Rescue Me 10.
