ABOUT
The Dirty Truckers` Washed & Ready picks up right where its predecessor, Bush League Romance, left off - although singer/songwriter/guitarist Tom Baker is the only remaining member. The new DTs are bassist Jamie Griffith, drummer Dave Foy and guitarist/vocalist Tad Overbaugh, of Kickbacks fame. When playing live the band includes guitarist John Brookhouse and drummer Brian McElroy. But live or on record these guys are still pumping out high-powered, low-flying rock `n` roll of the swaggering, twang-punk variety. The fact that Washed & Ready was tracked in a matter of days - co-produced by Baker and Ed Valauskas - only adds to the urgency of the affair. Guests on hand include Rich Gilbert (Frank Black & The Catholics) on pedal-steel guitar, and Jed Parish (The Gravel Pit), who blows a hot harp solo on one of the two cover tunes, Nick Lowe`s "Raging Eyes". The other cover is mined from their neck of the woods, "Help You Ann", by the long-running Bostonian garage-rock band The Lyres. Overlooking a well matched Replacements` cover this time `round, they`ve opted to make a catchy, energetic record that, like any good `Mats disc, is meant to be played - and sounds great - loud.

ABOUT
The Dirty Truckers got together in 1999 when Tom Baker and his former Nana band mates regrouped to pursue a decidedly American rock n' roots direction. The result is the debut CD, Bush League Romance. Released on their own label, Diorama Records, Bush League Romance was cut over a few months and a few cold beers at Woolly Mammoth studios in Boston, MA, with Dave Minehan (The Neighborhoods, Westerberg) at the helm.
Drawing on kick-ass influences such as Cheap Trick, Steve Earle and Soul Asylum, the Dirty Truckers rock hard and have a good time doing it. According to Boston Soundcheck Magazine, "the band's sound is a mixture of '80s Rolling Stones as led by Keith and Ron's two-guitar assault and f*ck you sonic attitude". Miles of Music (www.milesofmusic.com) was lost in "the aroma of beer, the haze of cigarette smoke and the roar of punchy guitar".
Bush League Romance, whose core members include Baker (vox, guitar), Roland Smith (bass, vox) and Jim Delios (drums, vox) was recorded in a loose, leave the mistakes in, kind of way - the way any good bar band would do it. Helping fill out the sound were guitar slingers Minehan, Jim Buni (Buttercup) and Andy Pastore (Charlie Chesterman and his Legendary Motorbikes). The result, as summed up by Freight Train Boogie (www.freighttrainboogie.com), is that "the songs are good and anyone liking rowdy fall-down-drunk Midwestern bar rock will just love this!".
