have a review up after I check it out.




I have liked all their cds...even though Amorica and Three Snakes and one Charm I thought were their weakest efforts.

Hmmm a sort of track by track review...


1) Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution

Mid temp tune along the lines of tunes off Amorica.

2) Walk Beleiver Walk

A more ROCK tune along the lines of Shake Your Money Maker. Sung in a bluesy feel...but sounds more rock like.
--a fave off the cd!

3) O, Josephine

Slow tempo tune...along the lines of most stuff of Southern Harmony/ By Your Side. A cool chill out song.

4) Evergreen
Anotehr more rock tune along hte lines of Shake Your Money Maker/ Lions. Has slow spots and rock spots... kind of a cool balance of sounds.

5) We Who See The Deep

Mid tempo rock tune...I'd say more of a Amorica/Shake Your Money Maker style. Good riffs in it. Kind of has that bluesy tone to the singing and rythem to it.

6) Locust Street

Feels like a bonus track off Southern Harmony/ By Your Side. Slow mellow tune.... not too bad...another chill out song....actually....could remind you of material off Three Snakes.

7) Movin' Down the Line
--same comments as above... more backing vocals though.... I like Locus Street better.

8) Wounded Bird
Sounds like something off of Lions/Shake Your Money Maker. Nice little rockin tune.... reminds me of some Lynyrd Skynyrd stuff.
-- a fave of mine

9) God's Got It
musically it reminds me of something off the more rocking songs of Amorica...aka a lot of the tamborine used in it w/ a nice little riff.

10) There's Gold in Them Hills
SLOW tune.... more along the lines of Souther'ns slow tunes and By Your Side. kind of mellow tune --sung again, in a bluesy rythem. Again a cool chill out song.

11) Whoa Mule
a bare bones slow song.... kind of cool... sounds like something off By YOur Side more than anything else.


Overall...a very solid cd by them. I still have to say Shake Your Money Maker > Southern Harmony... > Lions ....and then welll this would be above Amorica overall.... and since it rocks more than By Your Side or THree Snakes.... it would fit somewhere in the middle.

I generally prefer the rockier/up tempp tunes more than their slow stuff.

A buyalbe worthy cd IMHO.

The small sampling that I heard of the first single makes me want to hear more of this record. I look forward to your review.

So far I like it... listend to it 2x over in FULL.


Initial impressions so far...


Hmmm has a few rockin tunes that sound off of Shake YOur Money Maker....the rest is sort of in between.... Southern Harmony...., By Your Side, and Three Snakes and One Charm.

Tracks 2 and 5 rock. Most of the rest is kind of slow paced southern rock....I'd say somewhere around slower Lynyrd Skynyrd stuff.

I'll try to give a track by track synopsis later on.

Thanks, Pirate, I gave the 30 second samples a listen and liked what I heard...at least over the first part of the record. I thought it trailed off in keeping my interest by the end. Still though, overall, it was enough to peak my interest for a proper future listen.

So this on another board. Somebody already beat you to the review Treaz!
