Decent - Some songs superior and strong, others forgettable.......2007-07-18

I guess I'm not as enamored with the new release as others, in saying that I'm glad that so many fans have embraced the new album with such acceptance. When I first heard the final song "Saturdays" I was very impressed, I simply loved this song! The lyrics were especially meaningful to me, particularly the verse "Now we all belong...In the Saturdays of our youth" and that coupled with the sonic soundscape and simple yet prophetic songwriting made this a song I really, really enjoyed.

Perhaps I'm being too critical, and that song to me is a 15 on a 10 scale and should not hold a bias for me when judging the rest of the songs on this album. The problem is that some of the songs don't have much of a connection with me, instrumentally or lyrically. At times I enjoy the edgy guitar riffs but for the most part I felt like a lot of these songs just float by instead of reaching out and grabbing me like "Saturdays" did. The song "Well enough Alone" is memorable as its razor sharp opening leads into some emotional singing, and again I am excited in hoping there are more on the album like it.

Then I started giving it time to grow on me, and it did. The song "Humanoid" has some great changeups with regards to varying riffs and also a song that seemed to stick with me at its very first listen. The song "Paint the Seconds" is stoic at times and although the riffs on this particular song seem to be too familiar in connection with other songs on the album, the chorus has a great crescendo to it that makes it different enough to add to the overall driving power it has. The song "I get it" is also very likable and puts the songwriting and vocals a bit more in the forefront, including an infectious beat found throughout.

Chevelle has managed to stay visible on the front lines of new rock bands that have emerged in this decade among the remnants of a "rock" industry that is always trying to find a new identity, but all too often having its poster child fall off a cliff as the assembly line pushes forward, not heeding that the bridge is out ahead. There is still enough talent within these guys to blaze new trails and I look forward to their next release, while continuing to enjoy albums in their past discography.

Nothing short of awesome!.......2007-07-16

This is going to be short.
As anyone should have expected the new Chevelle cd is perfect. Yeah, they lost a member (brother). But the member (brother-in-law) is such a perfect fit that I doubt anybody even notices. As long as Chevelle keeps pumping out the great cd's that they have been, I foresee another great band. Go ahead & purchase this cd, you will not be let down.

"Take a ride in the new Chevelle!" (possibly the dumbest review title possible).......2007-07-13

Is this the album that Linkin Park (or at least their fanbase) wishes they had released?

Confident yet not lazy in their niche in today's rock scene, Chevelle has a satisfying 3rd major label LP with Vena Sera. You think Pete Loeffler has run out of fingers to point? You think wrong. He, brother Sam, and brother-in-law Dean have yet to run out of ways to manipulate their signature booming, detuned sound to condemn the masses and sell rock records that stand head and shoulders above their contemporaries in their intensity and quality songwriting.

Unlike parts of TTOT, this record proves easily listenable from beginning to end. The middle offers the most intense and creative songs. "Straight Jacket Fashion" manages to switch with fluidity between a punk beat and their oft-reliable and smooth ¾ groove, the place the song comes in for its landing. "The Fad" and "Humanoid" are the darkest cuts on the album, the latter employing an old-school rhythm and turning it into a blistering hook reminiscent of a quicker "Family System". Second single "I Get It" deserves a mention as well for its prominent acoustic guitar (believe it or not) in the verses and its seething, sarcastic tone throughout.

Don't think you're going to gain any new insights into the meaning of the songs nor who the arrows are aimed at - just like the past records, Pete's lyrics are inscrutable. Even so, you have to admit that he manages to create some of the catchiest choruses in radio rock, even if you have little idea who he's pissed at. It's actually rather nice, especially in Chevelle's genre, to have some mystery in the meanings of the songs. (And isn't that the point of art anyway, to interpret it for yourself?)

Critics have always come down on Chevelle either for Tool/Helmet imitation or just for lack of deviation from the nu-metal masses. While Vena Sera is not likely to silence the critics, those who do "get it" should be very pleased...Chevelle at least is not trying to break into the Top 40 like other rock bands going through identity crises.

Sublime Work: Hardness & Feeling.......2007-07-09

For all those who're only looking for hard sound I should suggest them just to listen to other genres like Death Metal. This incredible alternative band has been able to to create with new and absolute peculiar experience about expressivity and feeling through the Metal's hard sounds. Each song is a unique treasure yelled and sung from the deepest of three alternative hearts. Delighting.

Ok.......2007-07-08

I think a lot of fans as they continue to listen to further Chevelle albums want to compare it to "Point #1" as in, hey, it's not exactly like Point #1, or sounds different from it. I think Chevelle are branching out and discovering some new sound territories- on some of the album. And then sometimes it sounds like Point #1 again, hard-rocking, and thoughtful lyrics. Then sometimes it sounds like Tool, or Helmet, which the band is obviously influenced by. But through and through, it's recognizable as Chevelle. "Well Enough Alone" is beautiful, and hard. The first song on the album took me by surprise. I thought to myself "wow, they've gotten harder". The album varies in hardness, sometimes it's really hard, sometimes it lightens up, but not that much. Sometimes the guitar riffs are predictable, but the lyrics are always quite deep. True fans will be happy with this, as usual. But it's not ground-breaking. It's not so new that it will blow you away. I don't think Chevelle will ever get rid of their signature sound, which is "them" but showing through and through their influences. But will we ever reach the genius of "Point #1" again? I'm not sure.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderful, but not my first choice.......2007-04-07

I believe this was the first recording of Elijah in English that used an "international" conductor and some international singers. Fruhbeck gives a good, dramatic sweep to the piece, with some wonderful dramatic moments. This is an old fashioned performance, with only a solo quartet, and if there is a semi-chorus, I can't tell the difference. This means that the soprano is the Widow, and an Angel, the mezzo the Angel and Queen Jezabel, etc. You really should have a libretto, but you don't get one at this price.
Fischer-Dieskau roughens up his voice for the role, and therein lies a problem. The voice spreads and his diction suffers because of it; that and his unidiomatic pronounciation, with far too many rolled "r"s. He does the drama well, but what works well in lieder works here less well on the large scale. Odd, given his success as on opera singer (check out his Iago), that here he frequently comes off blustery.
Dame Gwyneth Jones belies her reputation and gives a contolled, dramatic performance, using her "edge" to advantage in "Hear Ye, Israel". Gedda's diction is amazing, with exactly the right color for this literature, and projecting a little more blood than an English tenor.
Dame Janet Baker is my star in this performance. Dramatic, heart-rending when need be, and in wonderful voice. She'll chill your blood when she tells the people of Baal to "slaughter him, do what he hath done!".
And as for the people of Baal, the Philharmonia Chorus is wonderful. Incisive and dramatic, with beautiful tone. I could do without the trick of the boy choir for "Lift Thine Eyes", and I miss the small ensembles, but all in all a fine performance, and good recording, circa 1968.
First choice in English, Daniels/Terfel: better Elijah in Terfel, better recording, more authentic orchestra, small vocal ensembles (as per the score) but inferior women (including Fleming: beautiful tone, but where's her head?). In German, it's Sawallisch/Adam all the way.
But if you're singing Elijah, and have a score, this is a good choice.

THE BEST recording of the BEST oratorio ever..........2006-08-15

Okay, I'm gonna admit I'm biased- I first sung in the chorus of Elijah when I was 14 and it made a BIG impression on me!
This recording is in every way wonderful. Starting with Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. He IS Elijah to me. His singing is perfection. He has amazing phrasing and his diction makes it possible to understand the lovely, inspired libretto to this heavenly music. There are so many pieces that are ephemeral, but a couple of my favorites are: #14, Lord God of Abraham and #37, For the Mountains shall Depart. Dieskau does a great job of what I think of as compassionate, heartfelt singing. His interpretation sounds like the voice of God himself. It has a quality of kindness and yet he sounds just as convincing reprimanding the people of Baal. He is the true highlight of this recording.

That said, the rest of the cast is wonderful as well. Gwyneth Jones has a lovely, silvery voice that has a clarion bell-like tone that rings over the large orchestra with ease. She has occasional "misfire" but is a consistent performer. Dame Janet Baker and Nicolai Gedda both perform at a consistently lovely level. The orchestra and chorus are both wonderful. #15, Cast thy Burden upon the Lord, #32 He that Shall Endure to the End, and #38 Then Did Elijah are all highlights.

All said, for me the main reason to get this recording is Dieskau's Elijah- after all, he's the main character. But don't forget the lovely music. This story is exciting and passionate and sacred all at the same time. For me, it's the best oratorio that has a moving story and great music too.

Too bad there are so few recordings of Elijah.......2006-07-03

This is a good recording of an oratorio that deserves more attention. The chorus and soloists are very good--I just wish Fischer-Diskau wouldn't slide around so much in singing the title part!

This one Rocks.......2007-01-11

This was the first Delbert McClinton CD I ever bought (actually it was a cassette back then) and I loved it so much I've purchased everything he's recorded since then. Never Been Rocked Enough is still my all time favorite - it is loaded with great songs that illustrate his multi-faceted talent. There is even a track with Bonnie Raitt as an added bonus. I highly recommend it.

Delbert Rocks.......2006-03-24

This is a fine album worthy of purchase by anybody wanting to add to their Delbert collection. Has a number of songs that are really good but won't be found on any compilations. Get it and you won't regret it.

I Listen to it over and over and never get bored........2004-07-21

The only luke warm review on this album says it wasn't enough straight up blues. Gee, Delbert showed some versitility. My how awful!

Well, this album is straight up good. The pacing from one song to another is excellent.

How refreshing to listen to an album all the way through without getting bored. It's a winner. If you like your blues with a little downhome twist, you'll love this album. Missed my one opportunity to see him here in Nashville this year, and boy do I regret it.

Not Enough Straight-Up Blues.......2003-07-17

This CD is a good CD, but, depending on the cut, a little (or a lot) too R&B, reggae, cross-over pop, or rock sounding for my taste. I was looking for a good, solid blues album by McClinton. After a couple of listens, I don't consider this to be it, despite other customer reviews by blues afficionados who apparently do (and whose reviews influenced my decision to give it a whirl). Of the 11 tracks, I count 3, or maybe 4, tops, that have a true blues sound, and, even then, 2 of them are really "blues light." Of the 3 or 4, "Blues as Blues Can Get" is really enjoyable -- with Paul Shaffer playing Wurlitzer. Again, it's a good CD, and McClinton's lyrics are often clever and playful, but if you're looking for what I was looking for, I'd skip this one.

Have a little faith in Delbert..........2002-12-24

I agree with an earlier user review - Delbert Mcclinton is a seriously overlooked and underappreciated talent.

I'd rate this CD very highly just for the great version of "Have a little faith in me," but the entire disc is just plain supurb.

Just the right mix of Blues, Rock and Country provides a disc that is worth every penny of the asking price.

"Everytime I roll the dice" is a rollicking blues tune, and starts this disc out right. "I used to worry" is a great tune, and just confirms that Delbert isn't worried 'about things like that.' "Miss you fever" is the typical 'sad you are gone (and I probably chased you away)' song, but from there you've got "Why Me" to pick up your spirits and start you rocking.

My personal favorite is "Have a little faith in me," a song that I think of when I hear "If I should fall behind" (performed very well by Springsteen and the E Street-ers and by the exquisite Faith Hill).

"Never been rocked enough" follows that and continues this great disc toward several more great tunes.

Well worth the asking price, and an excellent addition to any CD collection.

I grew up in the 70's and 80's. I was nostalgic so I purchased this CD. It's okay.

rare gems.......2007-07-03

This series is incredible! Vol 14 is one of my favorites.

I don't think you'll find Rubber Rodeo's "Anywhere with you" anywhere else - this is an amazing, under-rated song. Two other great rarities are Never Never by the Assembly and Every Word Means No by Let's Active.

Other don't-miss songs are Tenderness, One Night in Bangkok (Chess is touring around in summer 2007 - can you believe it?), Voices Carry, and Can't Get Enough of You Baby.

If you love the 80s & are on a limited budget (I only wish I could have the whole set!), this one and Vol 1 are the ones to get.

Will The Real "One Night In Bangkok "Please Stand Up.......2006-12-23

Finally, one can have the original version of "One Night In Bangkok" on Volume 14 of this series. Murray Head wasn't smart enough to include it on his own greatest hits CD, so it's good that someone got it right. In addition, some other worthy offerings on this CD include "Close (to the edit) by Art Of Noise, Der Komimissar (After The Fire), "Imagination" by Belouis Some, and "Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Heart.

"True Men Don't Kill Coyotes" is an interesting inclusion as we get to hear the Red Hot Chili Peppers in their underground days. This is worth having if you're an 80's fan. Go get yourself a copy.

An Underrated Comeback For Tom Petty.......2007-05-10

After SOUTHERN ACCENTS was an artistic disappointment, Tom Petty apparently told his old production team that if he saw them using inappropriate social manners, they would be fired, and it was obviously the right move, because even though LET ME UP (I'VE HAD ENOUGH) starts disappointingly with "Jammin' Me", the album quickly gets better on the second track, "Runaway Trains." There's other great stuff here too, such as "The Damage You've Done", in which Petty tells his lover to atone for the way she's treated him by not eating with her elbows on the table or putting her feet on furniture in his house. Petty's belief that the young Australian tourist jailed in Indonesia since 2005 for drug-smuggling was falsely convicted makes LET ME UP (I'VE HAD ENOUGH), which is one of Petty's most underrated CDs, an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

If You Like Tom Petty, You'll Like This Album........2006-11-11

I've had this album for many years, i first got it on cassette, and still have it, after 20 years or so of sitting on dashboards and surviving, i decided to get a CD Remaster version of the album. What a joy to hear it on cd for the first time! After listening to it for years on cassette you don't realize what you're missing out on. Clear, crisp sounds, great melodies and that unmistakeable 'Petty' voice. It brought back to me how much i loved this record and why its my favourite Heartbreakers album. My fave track would have to be My Life/Your World. Such a cool, cool, beat, and the guitar riffs are great. I also love the piano on the title track. All in all, if your a Petty fan, you wont be disappointed.

Deserves a Second Listen....and 3rd, 4th, 5th..............2006-08-13

I was already a Petty fan when this came out; yet I found, and still find this to be the most consistent, satisfying album of his career. Each song fits well with the others, there's no "experimentation" going on here, no pretentiousness, just true expression, of, among other things, humor! What is it with critics who dislike a musician getting in touch with his roots and his lighter side? Petty has made no secret of his adoration for the Byrds, and it's evident here, as is his collaboration with Dylan. What's not to like? I agree....if you like "Full Moon Fever," you'll like this. Play it and then hit replay.

Music Great/Package Not.......2005-12-30

WARNING TO ALL BUYERS!
The music on this disc is tremendous! It is one of Tom's "overlooked" disc....HOWEVER....the problem is that Amazon is advertising this as a (Original Recording Reissued) IT IS NOT!
I already own this disc and hoped to capitalize on the better quality found on Tom's other (Remastered Disc) but this is just the same as the one that has been out since 1987. I'd return it, but for $7.98.....what's the point.

let me up i've had enough.......2005-10-09

Everyband has a weak album here and there, and this one is Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers misstep. Let Me Up I've Had Enough is not an awful album buy any means, but it was the first Petty album in a long time not to spawn a hit single. The opener Jammin Me is a pretty good song cowritten with Bob Dylan. Let Me Up I've Had Enough is more for hardcore fans, casual fans should pass this one up.

"girl all the bad guys want" and more from the happiest band on earth.......2006-12-09

Bowling for soup is a band that just make you want to smile. This ablum is the one that moved them to obscurity as a small texas band to the spotlight getting nominated for a Grammy award. Although it should have one, it lost to an artist that literally sold only about 51 cds or something like that, big scandal in my book. But this CD is more than just one song, BFS delivers there Rock with a punk edge to it that will keep you bouncing all day. A great album all the way through, you won't be dissapointed with it. Check it out.

I LISTEN TO IT ALL THE TIME.......2006-02-04

This is such a good band and such an awsome cd! Buy it and then buy A Hangover You Dont Deserve they are both so freakin awsome and (as u can tell by the name) i listen to them both all the time!!! buy it buy it buy it

Pretty Good.......2005-07-27

I got this album because I thought that their single "Girl All the Bad Guys Want" was catchy and funny. The rest of the album is typically like the single. I usually stay away from music like this but I would recommend it for people who something fresh. However, I did think that a lot of their songs sounded alike. It didnt have enough variation.

A great pop punk CD...............2005-03-03

Bowling for Soup's CD is a great pop punk CD that is similar to Blink 182's style of just having fun. And I enjoy it! The songs are catchy and singable. And the music is great to blare in the car. I don't skip any song on this CD it is just a fun CD. If you liked the singles you will love this CD as all the songs have a similar feel.

This CD rocks!.......2005-02-12

I love this CD! My boyfriend told me to check out Bowling for Soup and while I've never been so into punk before, this CD is one of my favourites! Actually, it comes second after the Attila and the Huns CDs (www.aath.net). This CD is cynical and funny and just an awesome CD to listen to when you need something to cheer you up! To me, the best song is "Running From Your Dad". If you don't already have this in your CD collection, you need it- And check out Attila and the Huns too!

Despite the tepid production by metal guru Sandy Pearlman, the Clash's sophomore album, Give 'Em Enough Rope, manages to burn with white-hot intensity. Though not as amateurish or snarling as their debut album, Rope finds the boys flexing their songwriting muscles. The first three songs ("Safe European Home," "English Civil War," and "Tommy Gun") stand among their most powerful and leap from the record with brute force. Though they hit a few clunkers ("Cheapskates"), this album is a near classic and gives a hint of the band to come that would light up the world with London Calling. --Tod Nelson

Extraordinary for its Prescience.......2007-04-19

As all the other reviews have noted - and as all Clash fans have known for years - Give 'Em Enough Rope is far from the band's best work. A shining example of the Sophomore Slump. But the passing of time - to where we stand in this time and place - has been favorable to the album. Granted, Sandy Perlman's hard rock production on The Clash's punk rock approach still feels disjointed, but Joe Strummer's lyrics and delivery - fueled by drummer Topper Headon's impeccable rhythms - feel more potent - more important - than they did when first released 30 years ago. Songs like "Safe European Home" addressing violence in Jamaica; "Tommy Gun," about soldiers of fortune with lyrics like "So let's agree / About the price / That's one jet airliner / For 10 prisoners"; and "Guns on the Roof" with "They tortured all the women and children / Then they put the men to the gun / 'Coz all across the human frontier / Freedom's always on the run," all resonate with an uneasy chill and truth.

Interesting it's this album that 3 decades on would prove that The Clash is STILL the only band that matters.

Sophomore Slump? Um, no...........2007-03-24

Okay. So it lacks the immediacy of the debut and the "anything-goes" attitude of London Calling. I could care less, I like Give 'em Enough Rope, at least up until the end. How anybody doesn't hear "classic" in a few of these songs is beyond me. May I remind you people this contains Safe European Home, a reggae-punk fusion that would alone make the album essential? And the snarling rocker English Civil War? And some tremendous drumming on Tommy Gun? Can't forget the funny-yet-serious Julie's Been Working for the Drug Squad, either. I'm not a fan of Mick Jones' voice, but Stay Free is a nicely emotional ballad. I like Guns on the Roof too, even if it's a rip off of The Who's far better I Can't Explain, the second the group recorded (#1 was Clash City Rockers, another great song).
So basically, the only real bad songs are All Young Punks and Last Gang in Town. Both abuse their indulgent five-minute running times horrendously. This is good stuff, though, and I like the cover art too.

Righteous Anger.........2007-02-26

I was there in New York on this tour as The Clash bombastically took the stage and tore the house down as they always did..angry at corporate power, this album of longer playing sounds, sprinkling of keyboards,better cleaner production mainstream producer,Marxist Maoist allusions throughout made The Clash a band that were the defining statement of the day. Not a bunch of playful Mods, The Clash meant business and were out to prove it..one of the seminal albums of the movement, belongs in every collection.

The only band that matters Made for the USA.......2007-01-28

Everything the Clash ever recorded was important and this album is no different. The only problem with this album (just like the US release of the first album) was that corporate mororns tried to put the band into a box instead of letting them be who they were. That being said sit back enjoy, listen and learn. Stay Free

The Difference Between Powerful Music and Arena-Rock Production.......2006-09-15

What happens when a punk band with a smashing sound meets a producer with connections to Blue Oyster Cult? You got it, Give 'em Enough Rope.

It is a solid set of songs marred by the arena-rock production of Sandy Pearlman. The band was disgusted with the final product and it should be no surprise that live sets after the tour to support its release did not feature too many of the cuts.

Too bad, because the U.S. debut - the second album released - finds Joe Strummer and band getting punk'd while absorbing the sights and sounds of Jamiaca in Safe European Home and taking aim at the growing legion of wannabes in All the Young Punks (New Boots and Contracts).

The energy of Tommy Gun and the social commentary in Drug-Stabbing Time and Julie's Been Working with the Drug Squad shows a band getting tighter lyrically and musically.

Give 'em Enough Rope will probably remain the most overlooked studio release by the band. But it is a powerful set that propelled them to greater heights with the rock classic London Calling that was released about a year later.

Corb Lund and his crackerjack band, the Hurtin' Albertans, lassoed a pen full of awards in the recent Canadian Country Music Awards (and the Western Canadian Music Awards), and for anyone just coming to Lund's brand of ranchin' and ropin' tunes, this album (ironically recorded in Nashville) serves as a fine introduction. The baby-faced Canuck blends a prairie upbringing with 10 years as an indie rocker in his last group, the Smalls, and throws in a smattering of acoustic blues, folk, rockabilly, ragtime, and country-rock to balance his traditional cowpoke leanings. While his subject matter generally hangs around the chutes and the plains, or follows the white line down the highway, Lund is so lyrically and rhythmically inventive that special guests Ian Tyson, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and Riders in the Sky's Ranger Doug and Too Slim probably begged to ride herd. Put your boots up, pull out a can of chew, and get acquainted with the brightest new star under the western moon. --Alanna Nash

A Breath of Fresh Air.......2007-05-21

I first got hooked on Corb Lund after purchasing his last release ( Five Dollar Bill) and have been anticipating more.
Well, "Hair in my Eyes Like a Highland Steer", does not dissapoint to say the least.
Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans mix the introspective ( The Truth Comes Out, The Rodeo's Over) with the witty ( The Truck Got Stuck, Hurtin' Albertan) to produce a great album full of hooks you will be humming all day.
As a Texan and a rancher, I find it reassuring our "neighbors to the North" share many of our experiences and outlooks. "The Truck Got Stuck" in particular caught my ear, as I have had similar experiences in muddy pastures ( minus the canola seed.)
While these are mainly "cowboy" songs, I think anyone with a love of the West and rural life will find them enjoyable.

Excellent Tunes.......2007-01-15

If you are all about real country music then,you would love this CD!!!
I was very impressed that it was here before the scheduled date of arrival.
Thank you so much
BUY IT ALL YOU COUNTRY PEOPLE!!!!

Perfect.......2006-07-09

I heard Corb Lund described as Canada's answer to Cake, but that's not really true. The Corb Lund band is as rooted in Alberta as Cake is in California, and both have smart lyrics, but (even though I don't much like country music) I have to give the nod to this album. Great musical hooks, wonderful lyrics, songs that get stuck in your head and make you smile for days afterward.

I think I'd compare Corb Lund more to Steve Earle, with a catchier bass/banjo line. BRILLIANT album.

Pure Alberta Country ! .......2005-10-18

I was in Canada this weekend and heard the 'The Truck Got Stuck" and I was hooked. I bought the CD and laughed and smiled from the beginning until the end. Buy this CD and ENJOY!

It might be tempting to describe Kentucky's Chris Knight as the poor man's Steve Earle (if the original weren't still doing a pretty good job at it). While the hard twang of the guitar and the hardscrabble lyrics recall Earle's early classic albums, Knight continues to establish himself on his fourth release as one of the most powerful (and underrecognized) artists in alternative country. Produced by Gary Nicholson and mixed by Earle's "twangtrust" partner Ray Kennedy, the album pulls no punches, whether rocking the roadhouse at the end of "River Road," venting anger at the developers who are treating Grandpa's land like "Dirt," or detailing a dead-end life in the title track. Yet the redemptive "Saved by Love" and the yearning "Too Close to Home" evoke equally strong emotions that balance the album's darker strains. If "Cry Lonely" isn't a hit for Knight, it deserves to be one for somebody. Knight's eye for detail and command of tone have the compression of great short stories, though Southern Gothic rarely rocks this hard. --Don McLeese

The greatest does it again.......2007-04-22

Once again, he hits it hard. Chris Knight is the epitome of alt-country (real country) music. Somewhere along the way people forgot that country music was suppose to be defiant. Chris Knight does a good job of being true to the roots of counrty and souther rock, insightful, defiant, and truthful

Great Cd.......2007-02-22

One of my favorite cd's. Love the storytelling, the hard rocking songs, and Knight's connection to place.

Authentic.......2007-01-11

If you want REAL COUNTRY MUSIC and not that pop crap that Nashville is putting out , start with this guy.

May Hollar.......2006-11-28

This material is way too dark, too depressing, too maudlin to be taken seriously. Knight wears his victimization on his sleeve and his chip on his shoulder. "Cry Lonely" would more aptly be named, "You Won't Have Me to Kick Around Any More, Then You'll Be Sorry." "Enough Rope" is decidedly anti-woman, and as a woman I resent that. I was told by a male friend that only guys could relate to Chris Knight; I think only whiny, angry guys can relate. Maybe that's why he's not more popular. Having tried to listen to him over and again, I'm pretty sure that I don't want to spend my time being that depressed. Life to is too short and too good to waste it listening to Chris Knight's fatalism. I hope at some point life will be good for Knight.

This guy's the real deal.......2006-11-23

I first heard Chris perform in studio, and I was so moved that I picked up his CD. I wasn't disappointed. It's great stuff. Chris rocks and rolls, and doesn't slow down. This CD is about the working class, no questions asked. I love the mixture of rock guitar, steel guitar, and fiddle. Take the free spirit of Austin's best music, hone the songwriting, add Lloyd Maines' steel guitar, and a rock band pushing it to the limit, then you have the sound on this CD. If Knight keeps collaborating with Texan Gary Nicholson, get back, Jack.
