Elizabeth Cook's cornbread-and-cracklings approach to modern country music isn't everybody's cup of homebrew. But her backwoods lineage is genuine: her daddy learned to play doghouse bass in a Georgia prison band, doing 11 years for running moonshine. And there are plucky moments--especially on "Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman," where she sounds like she could be the Coal Miner's Daughter's feminist grandkid. On this, Cook's fourth album, producer Rodney Crowell knows how to frame her as both authentic and hip, bringing alt-country prince Bobby Bare Jr. on board for the affecting mountain love song "Rest Your Weary Mind," and elsewhere imbuing her original shuffles and ballads with chickin'-pickin' guitars, languid fiddle solos, and even a jew's harp on the hoedown-ish "Times Are Tough in Rock 'n' Roll" ("All my feelings, all my fears/Were confirmed with Britney Spears.") There's a surprise around every corner--"He Got No Heart" is a sassy throwback to Wanda Jackson, while "Mama's Prayers" evokes the threadbare innocence of Iris DeMent, and "What Do I Do" finds Cook's twangy soprano leaping into the honky-tonk stratosphere. But get ready for her cover of the Velvet Underground's "Sunday Morning," which she dang near makes her own. Then again, that's something you might expect from a girl with an affinity for vintage cocktail dresses who still insists on baiting her own hook. --Alanna Nash

how country music should be.......2007-07-08

As I listened to Elizabeth Cook's new album Balls, I wanted to open the window and scream, "Why doesn't country radio play her songs?" I love country music that sounds authentic, the kind that one has to search the internet to find. Cook's music definitely fits the bill. I really appreciated the blend of different old-time sounds: bluegrass, rockabilly and traditional country. Cooks seamlessly blends the three styles while giving it her own unique twist.

Balls is a stellar album from an undervalued singer. All eleven tracks are fantastic and make for great car-ride play. Not only does Cook possess a sweet soprano voice similar to Alison Krauss, but great songwriting ability as well. On the opening track, "Times are Tough in Rock n' Roll," a bluegrass-flavored tune, Cooks makes her disapproval with the current state of pop music known loudly and clearly. "Sometimes It Takes Balls to Be a Woman" is a rousing feminist anthem with a rockabilly sound. "He Got No Heart" blasts a lover with the searing line: "I'd shoot him down if I knew where to aim."

Perhaps one day country radio will wake up and discover Elizabeth Cook is the real deal: a traditional country singer with soul, and a songwriter with much to say.

This is what country should sound like. Miss Cook has 3 cds now and every one is great. Why haven't I heard her on country music stations? She is far better than the majority of country "stars" today.

Back To Country Basics.......2007-05-30

I am a country music LOVER! I love everyone from Loretta to Gretchen but I have a new LOVE with Elizabeth Cook. This album is getting country back to its roots in the likes of Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette. If you love country music you will not be sorry with the BALLS album. GET SOME BALLS!!!

Cookin'.......2007-05-28

"Balls" is Cook's finest record to date. Following the excellent "This Side Of The Moon" with a collection of up-tempo shuffles, wry observances and heartfelt ballads, "Balls" delivers on all fronts. No need for EC to skim the surface of her rural upbringing by talking about "muddin'" and "hick towns" and all of the transparent Music Row nonsense that passes for Country music these days. Cook is the genuine article, and her songs ring simple and true.

"Rest Your Weary Mind" is a meditation on helping her man decompress after a hard day of Life. Sung as a duet with Bobby Bare, Jr., Cook's refrains provide soothing balm to Bare's laments. Conway and Loretta never did it any better.

"Down Girl" is a snaphot of a melancholy friend's marital woes, and the stark production and quiet mood give it a lullaby feel. Beautiful.

"Gonna Be" and "Times Are Tough In Rock and Roll" are clever, light-hearted romps through the pleasures and pains of being on "the ladder", but only a rung or two up, detailing life on the road and at home for an indie artist.

"Momma's Prayers" reveals a sentiment Hallmark only wishes they could put into words.

Backed by roots rock guitar ace (and husband) Tim Carroll and the cream of Nashville's roots session players including guitar masters Kenny Vaughan and Richard Bennett, Cook's vocals are sure and plaintive, sassy and seductive. Producer Rodney Crowel kept a light touch on the proceedings, allowing the songs and the players to meet at the point of "just enough" - nothing here sounds like a demo or a New Country polished cliche.

This kind of real music is out there, despite the major labels best efforts to ignore it (see "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?"). If you are just getting hip to EC, check out all of her albums. Now that Rolling Stone, CBS Sunday Morning, AT&T Blue Room, and Dwight Yoakam are on board, it might be too late to say "I knew her when...", but Cook is that rare new friend that sounds like an old friend. Make yourself at home, put this record on.

Great album.......2007-05-10

My favorite country album in a long time - thoughtful, clever and intelligent lyrics.

You can tell a lot about a band by the company it keeps. Simple Plan's close chums include Good Charlotte and Blink 182, giving one a fair hint of the sound the group's debut, though, judging by song titles like "I'm Just a Kid," "The Worst Day Ever," and "God Must Hate Me," it's clear these Canadian pop-punkers are aiming for a younger demographic still. Ignore the bikini-clad babes that festoon the sleeve--there's none of Blink 182's smutty double-entendres here. Frontman Pierre Bouvier writes about skipping school, crashing dad's car, and lusting after girls that don't know he exists. "Every day," he sob, "is the worst day ever." The music itself is far from glum. "I'd Do Anything" is a beaming Green Day-style chugger, while "When I'm With You" is a tale of obsession and heartbreak that owes more to the Go-Go's than Rancid. Seasoned punk fans will be put off by the excessive juvenilia, but the new wave should lap this up. --Louis Pattison

Music without compromise.......2007-05-02

If the radio hits "I'm Just A Kid" and "Perfect" don't instantly thrash you in the face with the entire theme of this album when they first reach your ears, it seems nothing could. Both albums from Simple Plan, the Canadian quartet who have slammed their way into the hearts of thousands of young listeners, have a very adolescent feel, even more so than bands like Good Charlotte or Linkin Park. As countless commentators have pointed out, they're by no means emo or hardcore--but they must be accepted for what they are, not run over for what they aren't.

From budding crushes gone wrong ("When I'm With You", "I'd Do Anything", "Addicted") to parental conflicts ("One Day" and "Perfect") and everything in between, Simple Plan definitely appeal to the youngest audience possible--or at least the youngest listeners can be when they start developing individual tastes in music. One look at the CD's cover seems to tell you what fantasies were swirling in these pop-punkers' minds, but one listen to the actual songs proves that not even early Blink 182's slapstick act can stand up to these guys. You simply can't tell them to act their ages.

But does this blueprint work when put into action? Past a few mediocre songs and vocals that can get annoying, ultimately, it does. Surprisingly, the track that best shows what these rockers are capable of isn't one that voices any tween frustrations, but rather a catchy one praising the singer's one-of-a-kind girlfriend: "My Alien", in which frontman Pierre Bouvier claims that "she has two arms to hold me / And four legs two wrap around me" over a catchy, munching guitar beat.

As a start their debut proves that they can not only produce memorable riffs and tunes that are perfect to sing along with, but its apt title proves that they can deliver energetic music without compromise, despite a theme that isn't nearly as perfected or as universally approved of as that of their peers.

Zero Stars Suckers!.......2006-12-30

College Kid (20 yrs old)
Sorry, don't have password

Will somebody tell me why this band is still in existence? I mean c'mon is this what people call music? This crap isn't even close, all it is is a bunch of whiny men (I use that term very losely) complaining about how much their lives sucked in high school. Let me tell you somethin' a**holes, there are a lot of kids today who've had to go through more pain than you could ever dream of going through. I had a very happy childhood, so this isn't about my personal life. I know kids that have dealt with horrible things, yet have come out stronger and better and still don't complain. It makes me sick to think that people actually feel sorry for these gutless losers. I wonder if Pierre's parents forgot to circumcise him, maybe that's why he sounds sexually frustrated.

Seriously, how can anybody like these losers. Here's the lyrics to one of their songs:
I'm just a kid
my life is a nightmare
nobody cares tonight (AW, poor baby, do you want your mommy now, jackass)
And I don't give a s**t if these lyrics aren't correct to all you adolescent peabrains who reviewed before. I am fed up with babies like these imbeciles getting attention for their "traumatic childhoods" when there are kids constantly being abused, thrown around from home to home, and treated like animals every day. You think because a pretty girl didn't want to go out with you was so traumatic, you're entitled to everyone's sympathy. Here's my advice: F**K OFF! Btw, at least your parents halfway cared about you, you ungrateful, spineless bastards.

P.S. By the way, for all you SP lovin' morons who think you're so cool because they are "heavy" or "rock hard": you're not. My Pantera CD's can and always will blast this band right off the planet. Think I'm playin', see for yourself, idiots. SP wouldn't know what heavy is to save their lives. It is time for good music like Pantera, Metallica, Stone Sour, Black Sabbath, Demon Hunter, Breaking Benjamin, Tool, AIC, etc. and individuals with talent to make headway again. HAve a nice life, babies.

Enough is Enough!.......2006-11-27

I respect people's own opinions of what they like and don't like. But seriously, folks, stop comparing this to blink 182. I am so sick of blink being categorized with simple plan, good charlotte, and sum 41. Blink 182 had to work through a lot of crap for 7 years before they finally got to make it this big. All these new bands did was cash in on other band's success.

I know that blink is not the most punk band out there, but they never reached this kind of a poppy mess. Every single song sounds the same. It sounds to me like they took All The Small Things (probably blink's crappiest, poppiest song ever), made it more poppy, and repeated that for 12 tracks.

And I wouldn't be as mad if they would just be labelled differently. Even though blink's 1999-2003 albums were mislabelled, they EARNED the punk label early in their career, back when they produced good NOFX and descendents style albums. Even then, they had a distinctive sound that set them apart from other bands of the time. That's another thing that bothers me. All of these "pop-punk" bands now sound the same.

If you want some good punk or pop-punk music, try blink's stuff from 1992-1997. Even better, get into the real punk bands like The Sex Pistols, The Descendents, Anti-Flag, and NOFX.

please note all the five-star reviews by kids.......2006-09-06

Remember the style of music that came out in the late 70's called Punk?

The pioneers of this type of music were bands such a Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Ramones and the Talking Heads. The style becamse somewhat funk-influenced to the gut-wrentching hardcore metal influenced sounds of The Dead Kennedies and Ministry. Even Social Distortion had their own little sound to offer. This is how it went through the 80's.

Yet, after the who Nirvana-mania that saved music from Whitesnake and Warrent, Punk, as well as many other sounds, seemed lost until...

Green Day comes around with "Dookie." This continued the punk sound into what we know today.

So in the words of Oasis: "Where did it all go wrong."

It's not that this sounds on it's own is bad. When Blink 182 first came out, they had a lot of fun to offer. But gawd, where do we draw the line? After that, we had ( in no particular order) Sum 41, New Found Glory, My Chemical Romance, Showoff, and jeez, I could go on forever. They all sound so much alike. Still they were once tolerable. But with simple plan, (sigh), enough is enough. I can't even tell the difference sometimes between these guys and Bowling For Soup. And I don't easily confuse bands.

Really, though, these guy call themselves Punk. But last time I checked, Punk was about rebellion, Anarchy, disatisfaction with where humanity is going, all that stuff. Ex Sex Pistols "Anarchy In The UK" or Ramones "I'm Against It." Now Listen to some of the titles off this: "I'm Just A Kid," "God Must Hate Me," "I'd Do Anything." Difference? You'd have to be blind not to see one. These guys have jumped on the "poser" bandwagon that every other "punk" band on a major label has jumped on, and thus, mainstream punk is doing the same thing heavy Metal is.

An awesome CD.......2006-09-01

This is one of the best albums I have ever heard. There's no songs on here that I don't like. All of them are great. Especially I'm Just a Kid, I'd Do Anything, and Perfect. I reccomend this to anyone who likes bands such as Yellowcard, The All-American Rejects, and blink-182 or anyone who is looking for some good music to listen too.

GREAT MUSIC.......2007-05-13

"Great Balls of Fire" has always been my favorite Dolly album, and "Dolly,Dolly, Dolly" shows her ability to cross over into pop music with ease. This cd is a must have for any Dolly fan.

Love Love Love.......2007-05-06

I love this duo album I own both seperately on records. Great match

Great deal for Dolly.......2007-04-10

Two of Dolly's long lost (and poppiest) albums finally make it onto CD. The 2 on 1 thing is a great deal as both albums ran under 35 minutes and I hope there are many more to follow. More importantly, the remastering is excellent and the sleeve notes include the front and back covers of both albums along with informative essays.

As I said, there are many Parton albums that have yet to see a CD release which is quite disgraceful and I really hope that along with the 3 UK 2 on 1's and the recent reissues in the States of 'Jolene' and 'Coat Of Many Colours' will come much more of Dolly's early 70's to mid-80's work.

Can I have a remaster of 'Here You Come Again', please. I missed the Buddha late 90's version!

Classic Metal.......2007-01-26

This is by far the best Accept album as far as I'm concerned. Balls To The Wall and London Leather Boys are worth it alone. I got to see them live with the Scorpions in Madrid, Spain and they put on a great show.

The rest of the songs are pretty good too, but sometimes Udo's voice gets a little much with his screaming. However, that is a minor thing and not even worth knocking this review down a star.

This is great stuff and I highly recommend it.

All Balls to the Wall.......2007-01-18

Accepts best album! Classic 80's rock in the vain of the mighty AC/DC before the hair band craze hit the radio.

TIMELESS, QUALITY, GUT-WRENCHING METAL!!!.......2006-12-27

Simply put, they don't make quality Heavy Metal like this anymore (harder to find these days)! Searing hot, snarling, fist and teeth clenching, bombastic, highly structured and serious killer Metal riffing and leads with great songwriting and vocals. Udo Dirkschneider (vocals) and Wolf Hoffman (lead guitars) may very well be one of the all-time great hard rock/metal duo's in the business. Just a superb, genre-leading metal masterpiece!!!

It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This !!!.......2006-12-08

Balls To The Wall is not only one of the greatest Accept albums of all times,it is truly one of the greatest metal albums of all time! In fact,along with "Holy Diver" from Dio,"Pyromania" from Def Leppard and "Headhunter" from Krokus,this is what I would play for someone who has never heard 80s style metal. It's really that good. Accept is one of my favorite bands and this CD has all the reasons for that. Udo has never sounded better with his trademark screaming vocals (no one sounds quite like him,no one,and that's the sign of a legend),Wolf is in top form as usual for great lead guitar work and the rest of the band is just awesome. As great as this is,it is not my favorite Accept album,that honor goes to the one that followed this "Metal Heart" but in all fairness I'm a sucker for melody and that was their most melodic album. However,when it comes to THE classic Accept sound,you simply can't beat this. It has the radio smash hit "Balls To The Walls" the amazing "London Leather Boys", and so much more. Every song on here is a classic and how many CDs can you truly say that about? This CD was my first taste of Accept. I was at a concert in 1983 (it was a Kix concert being from Pennsylvania where they played alot) and my favorite memory of that night was not the concert itself (which was great too) it was the CD they played before the concert. I heard this fantastic song called Head Over Heels,then I heard "Turn Me On" then I heard "Love Child" and then I heard "Balls To The Walls" and at that point I said "I have got to buy this CD" the next day I went to the record store and bought it and listened to it so much I wore out my cassette (thank goodness for CDs). To truly appreciate this masterpiece,you have to really crank up the volume.I recommend this to anyone just discovering Accept or hard rock music in general. It doesn't get much better!

The Pros:Everything. Of course the title track "Balls To The Wall" ,"London Leather Boys", "Head Over Heels" ,the very sexual lyrics to "Turn Me On" the very brave lyrics to "Love Child" (it took a lot of courage to write about homosexual feelings in a metal band),"Losers And Winners" and "Losing More Than You Ever Had".

The Cons:The only thing I can come up with for this,is the guitar sound is a little dryer than the previous release "Restless And Wild" but it still sounds great.The production is awesome and the songwriting is amazing.

The Bottom Line:I can't recommend this highly enough.It is a true masterpiece.The performance and the songwriting. The only other advice I can give about this is play it on 10 to get maximum effect.Donutman says so!!!

Have You Got The Balls?.......2006-09-27

I was a latecomer to Accept. As a kid my doorway to metal was pretty traditional-Metallica, Megadeth, Maiden, Priest. In fact, it wasn't uncommon many years ago to see an Iron Maiden, Anthrax or even Helloween album(cassette usually, sometimes cd. Cd's were still kinda new at the time) at your local WalMart or other department store. Imagine that! Accept didn't really make it there, so I never really knew about them. Many years later I get into them and love it. Balls to the Wall ends a fantastic heavy metal trilogy that started with Breaker and continued with Restless and Wild. These aren't the only good Accept albums, but you'd have to be a fool to call yourself an Accept fan and not have them. Musically it's heavy and midpaced with the occasional speedy number thrown in. Very powerful, very anthematic. Udo is bar none one of the best metal vocalists ever. Sure, on the books he'll always be a second stringer to Halford, Dickinson and Dio, but honestly I personally don't feel he's one iota beneath any of those giants. Modern day metal audiences will just kinda laugh this off as silly, and most folks with any kind of recollection of the band are usually under the impression that Accept were some hair metal band that never quite made it. In fact, Sony (who remastered this cd) placed a big ass sticker on the cover(on mine anyway) that screams Big Hair!! Big Hits!! This pisses me off coz it proves that Sony had absolutely no idea of what they were remastering that day. Anyone who thinks Accept is a silly hair band can take a flying jump at the moon for all I care. Of course in a day when bands like Slipknot and HIM exist, who's to criticize something for being silly? Anyhow, I'm ranting. The point is, I'm not saying anything new to fans of the group, but to those wanting to expand their horizons and have an interest in checking out some of the golden days of heavy metal shouldn't be without this or one of the other two Accept albums. It's Rockin'! It's Udo! It's German! It's Heavy Friggin' Metal!

Music.......2007-05-12

I bought the sound track for Jerry Lee Lewis's rendition of Old Man River.

Which in my opinion is the best arrangement and recording of that piece of gospel music that I have ever heard.

The Real Jerry Lee is Much Nicer Than This.......2007-05-10

This is a fun movie and the music is fantastic. I'm not griping really because I can see why they did this: Jerry Lee Lewis's stage persona is bombastic, over-the-top and larger-than-life. That's fine. I get it. HIs on-stage persona is really just show-biz. I once met him and he's really not like that. He's really a very nice, thoughtful southern gentleman. That's the truth. Yes, to people in his band he's a demanding perfectionist (so is McCartney, big deal). But to meet him and approach him he treats everyone with respect and kindness and is nothing like his onstage character.

That said, if you like him and his music you should definitely check this out bearing in mind it's a cartoon.

I'm just glad the killer is still alive and working the ivories.

Great Balls of Fire! sets me on fire........2007-01-29

I am a 15 year old who likes older time periods. I love the '50s and all of its wonderful musicians. So when I found out there was a movie about Jerry Lee Lewis I just had to see it.
I ordered the DVD and watched it and immediately fell in love. The story line is amazing. There are funny parts and there are romantic parts that made my heart melt. Jerry Lee's relationship with Myra was really sweet. The music was great. Shortly after I purchased the DVD, I also bought the movie's soundtrack.
Wonderful movie. Highly Reccomended. Dennis Quaid did a great job as Jerry Lee Lewis.

Not like Jerry Lee's life.......2006-11-30

This movie told a good story and I like it, but the sad thing is that this movie is absolutly nothing like Jerry Lee Lewis's life. Most of the things that happened in the movie are totally fiction. Jerry is more serious that the clown that Dennis Quaid acted out. Now the music on it is a total different story, it is just wonderful. The music is Jerry Lee Lewis singing, not dennis quaid and it is just great. Wynona did a good job of being Myra in my opinion, and I think you will find her laugh in the movie very humerous. But I would advise you to buy the movie because it is just a really good story, and the sound track is definatly wonderful!
Thanks
Hali

Fun, but not quite what I was expecting.......2007-05-12

Aceyalone rocks this album well. I definitely give this album four stars because it is without a question really good. My only complaints are that every now and again it get's a little repetitive and the songs start sounding like one another, but overall an excellent CD. Favorite song off both cds is Mic Check Remix. Awesome.

All Balls Don't Bounce is mind-blowing.......2006-02-21

Basically, every time I want to listen to some real hip-hop, I put in "All Balls Don't Bounce". I've been listening to this CD quite a bit lately. I love "Arhthymaticulus", with Aceyalone's rapid-style delivery and its spacey beat. "Mic Check" is another great song here. Once you get into that drum-beat with Aceyalone spitting those non-stop abstract rhymes, you're hooked on this song and you can't stop bobbing your head. Makeba is another sure-shot winner here with its dark beat and bass in the background. Aceyalone's conversational rhymes are at their best on "Makeba." It might even take a few listens before you get into "Makeba" because of its intensely dark sound. "Mr. Outsider" has a semi-decent beat and is very cryptic lyrically. "Deep and Wide" is short and sweet with its mesmerizing beat and spiritual quality. The opening song, "All Balls", has a kind of jazzy feel to it, which allows for Aceyalone's rhymes to be very clearly heard and articulated. "Headaches and Woes" has one of the most bouncy beats on the disc, and Ace makes the most of it lyrically. He raps, "Because every so often I sit and I wonder why I even trip at all, cuz half are down when I get down, the other half want to see me fall." Clearly, he knows not everyone is going to appreciate his abstract rhymes and delivery, and this is his way of saying that. "B-boy Kingdom" is kind of a change of pace here as it is basically gangsta rap. It tells the story of some government plan to kill hip-hop and how Acey and his crew kill off the enemies. The thing about Aceyalone is that his rhymes don't seem to make that much sense. But, when you listen carefully, you discover there is some sense in his lyrics. Plus, his delivery is incredible. All in all, I would have to say this is a strong debut from Aceyalone. It's kind of difficult to listen to "All Balls Don't Bounce" from start to finish. That doesn't take away from the fact that it's a mind-blowing record. It just means certain songs could have been trimmed from the final cut. The bonus disc that comes with "All Balls Don't Bounce Revisited" is not all that essential. However, after hearing "All Balls Don't Bounce" a few times through, it is puzzling as to why Aceyalone is not more widely recognized and appreciated in the music world.

A lyrical masterpiece, straight from the underground.......2005-12-05

Aceyalone has always been one of the great underground emcees in the game. His lyrical talent is unmatchable, and he is, in my opinion, THE GREATEST MC OF ALL TIME. This is a classic; it has everything you want in an album, including masterful lyrics. Standout tracks: Arhythamaticulas, All Balls, Mr. Outsider.

The Greatest Show on Earth.......2005-10-19

Ace 1 Brings us Another tight album filled with abstract rhymes and funky jazzy beats. The music has a very laid back feel to it and it is the perfect soundtrack to chill to on a hot summer day. The samples on the album are quite different from anything youve ever heard from ACE before they range from 70s funk and jazz to straight up Westcoast Hiphop. This is the main reason why Ace is such a great MC instead of just releasing the same album every two years he does something completely different on each release. Ace is also a pretty dope lyricist he mixes abstract lines with story telling poetry and even though it may sound like giberish at first I find that the more you listen to ACE the more his lyrics make sense. This album is not quite a classic but it is still a CD that no true Hiphop head should be without 4 MICS

Hip-Hop Essential!.......2005-07-24

I feel pity for those of you who think that 50 Cent and Eminem are great hip-hop lyricists, they have nothin' on Aceyalone, he could easily outrap them for days, real hip-hop lives on the underground y'all, buy this if you love hip-hop and not pop rap!

ROCK IN THE 70s IS THE BEST!!.......2007-05-31

What can I say about Jim Dandy? Hey y'all this is the man who had influenced the great David Lee Roth. His vocal chord is so unique as if he was chewing tobacco and drinking wine while singing. All songs here are great! The unbeatable Tommy Aldridge is on the drums. Jim Henderson on guitars, Ricky Reynolds on guitars, Pat Daugherty on bass, Stan Knight on guitars. Did I forget someone else?

Get also their album X-RATED. It's their best album for me!

If you're a BOA dabbler get Raunch &Roll.......2007-03-15

I have been a Black Oak fan since I was 12,1972.I've worn out both lp& cassette formats on a lot of BOA releases.This wasn't one of them!!!! No, it's not their best,but it's ok for the price.Unless you're saveing for the new Justin Timberlake cd.
I saw them in 74 I think.I'm going to see them this year also.I bet Jim Dandy don't move like he did either.30years and a broken back will do that.Ozzy don't get around so good,Eddie VanHalen has had a hip replacement.These guys all ROCK.
To me the ultimate lineup for BOA will always be the original PLUS Tommy Aldridge Arguebly the best drummer for a 25 year period.In my mind they're frozen in time of the Raunch-n-Roll era.
I do of course agree that when you GUT a band that played together for years,they will sound different.Sort of like a bunch of guys playin together.As opposed to their first releaseBlack Oak Arkansas,or Keep the Faith,or High on the Hog.That lineup started out together in 1965,they wrote music together,they half near starved to death together in the hills of Arkansas.
This ain't you're 1972 BOA,BUT,if you're a fan,buy it natural evolution of a band.If you're not,Buy Raunch& Roll or MUTHA LIVE.You may end up a BOA fan.

Ohhhhhh sooooo slick! Where's the magic?.......2006-02-08

Having been a big fan of BOA when I was a teenager way back in the 70's I recently decided to "re-discover" the band and hunt down all of their albums on CD. I have now gotten pretty much all of the Atlantic (or Atco) stuff which accounts for the first 7 albums. They are all so great in their own ways. Granted, I sometimes feel that some of the lead guitar playing was a little weak, but the way all three guitarist interacted together in the band helped make BOA one of the most unique bands ever. Let's face it, for a "Southern Rock" band, they were pretty wierd. After Tommy Aldridge took over on drums their musicianship really went up a notch, and I feel that it went up another notch after Jimmy Henderson came in on guitar as well. I always felt that Patrick Daugherty was an incredible bass player, and that he really locked in with Aldridge for a smokin' rhythm section. I really don't know what to say about Jim Dandy. Sometimes I think that his voice is so cool and so unique, and sometimes I just think that it is obnoxious. He kind of sounds like a mutant Captian Beefheart singing with a southern drawwwwwwl.

Balls Of Fire is their third album after signing with MCA (I think). As far as this album goes, the musicianship is top-notch all the way around here, but it seems like they have lost their personality. To be honest, it sounds like generic southern hard-rock that is way to produced (the disco infused last song, and sappy ballad do not help matters at all). There is a lot of rock solid lead guitar here, but gone is the cool strangeness and the magic interaction between the players that made BOA amazing during their heyday. Tommy Aldridge sounds really laid back on this one too. Maybe he was bored?

If you want to try out the band for the first time, then start somewhere else, like "High On The Hog", "If An Angel Came To See You....", "Raunch n Roll", "Ain't Life Grand", "Live Mutha", or "Keep The Faith".

Also, FORGET about the next album "10 Year Overnight Sucess" the two lousy albums that came out after that on Capicorn. They were pretty much a different band by that time and these three albums are bad news.

A little Texas hospitatity.......2006-04-24

I heard of the band because of the bassist, Jeff Pinkus, had some other things going on at the time and I was a huge fan of his former band the Buttole surfers. These true Texas gentlemen played the roof off every joint I saw them in! I hate to pigeonhole music, but think if ZZ Top and Kiss played pure Texas roadhouse music! Good luck finding their first album "Honky", but you should definitely pick up "Balls Out Inn" on small stone records(a few of their labelmates may get you to tappin your toe if your not careful)And run, don't walk, if you get a chance to see them live. These boys know how to play their geetars and drink whiskey and will show you how livin is suppose to be done! (TEXAS STYLE) If you don't believe me check out their website and watch some of their videos or hear their mp3's. [...]

Strange and very bizarre.......2001-12-28

I received this album of "Christmas" music as a gift. This was far and away the strangest gift I have ever received. To really enjoy this music you must have a bit of a twisted sense of humor and an even more twisted taste in music. Some of the songs were done what you would consider normal while some were totally over the top. I found that for the most part I did enjoy listening to the album and would recommend it to anyone with strange tastes in music. It definitely is not for the faint of heart though.
