Editorial Reviews
Carey Miller, Planet Weekly, February 9, 2005
Wiser should cement their status as simply one of the best Southern rock bands today.
Product Description
Make Me Wiser, the debut album from Southern rock phenom Daybreakdown, is steeped in that 70s-era dirty guitar-driven style that has been so elusive since the introductions of disco, hair metal, grunge and boy-band pop. Despite serious Southern influences born in the Delta and the hill country of North Mississippi, Daybreakdown has a sound that transcends regional or contemporary comparisons, and Make Me Wiser captures that sound and spirit in its entirety. The self-produced album was recorded at TRS Studio, just outside of Jackson, Mississippi, in the spring and summer of 2004. During those intense, emotional sessions, bassist "The Kid" John Phillips opted to leave the band to finish college and all recording came to a temporary hault. Just three weeks into the band’s search for Phillips’ replacement, studio engineer Big John Patrick was handed the reigns. After familiarizing himself with the band’s originals, Patrick helped the band lay down the final tracks for the album. Taking Patrick out of the studio and on the road meant more delays with the mixing and production of Make Me Wiser. But with a new-found energy, and just a little patience, the band eventually left the studio with the finished product they had been hoping for. Make Me Wiser is a rock album in its truest sense. The honest, blue-collar lyrics of the band’s three songwriters Eric Carlton (keyboards, organ), Patrick McClary (lead guitar, vocals), and Reid Stone (rhythm guitar, vocals) cut through the superficial, whiney "rock star" clichés that are so prevelant in today’s music, and the thunderous beats from Daybreakdown’s rhythm section (John Patrick and drummer Tyler Rayburn) will keep heads bobbing and toes tapping. Fans of classic rock icons the Allman Brothers, The Band and Little Feat, as well as current rock pioneers Gov’t Mule and the Black Crowes should all find Make Me Wiser a mainstay in home and car stereos from the Carolinas to California, and all points in-between.
