Album Notes

The Pear Ratz throw a party, every time they hit the stage. This isnt your grandma's country. They describe their sound as "RayWylieAttalica", a mix between the songwriting of an everyday man and the riff of a heavy guitar. The Pear Ratz are rowdy and reckless, yet professional and deeply serious about their sound. They entertain, giving it all in every performance. How does such a band come about...here is Bob's answer, "I taught myself to play a guitar by watching "Hee-Haw", sharpened my work-hating skills, started a band, made a record and the rest I'll tell you later". Rock n roll with a country twang, the Ratz are playing over 100 dates a year, get em on your schedule today.

Exit 42 2004 Last Call

Genre: Country-Rock
Rate: 320 kbps CBR / 44100
Time: 00:49:16
Size: 112,63 MB



Album Notes

Sure, we have the rockin' guitars, the virtuoso bass lines, great vocals, and a killer pedal steel guitar. They let it all hang out in tracks like "Last Call" and "Eye of the Hurricane". But you also get introspective songwriting, real world experiences, and a whole lot of fun.

Exit 42 has been playing together for 14 years, opening big shows, playing small dives and coming up with new things all the time. The value of this group is five people who care about what they do, enjoy doing it, and actually like each other.

Raised on everything, influenced by a bunch of bands and artists, and putting it all together to say what they want to say. Mix with that a healthy dose of Colorado independence, a desire to push the envelope, and innovative arrangements, and you have Exit 42.

From Shelley Dowdy's powerful vocals, to Dave Ely's excellent pedal steel guitar work. Add innovative bass lines not often heard in Country music from Kent Balog. Round out the rhythm section with Gary Balog on drums and percussion (twins make the best rhythm section!). Top it off with fiery guitar and vocal work from Scott Davis.

Exit 42 wants you to listen, to laugh, to dance, to think, to enjoy. Pop in the CD while you drive through wide open spaces, and it fits just right. Put it on after a fight with your mate, and it is a fine elixir. Get pumped up for a night on the town. Think about the things that may haunt you. Go ahead, see if it works. The themes of real life are right here. It's your life...we're just writing about it!

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1967 Ricochet

Review by Bruce Eder

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's second album is a masterpiece. From the opening bars of Jackson Browne's "Shadow Dream Song," the high spirits overflow the grooves (or ones and zeros, on the CD) of the record. The singing and playing are more confident, and some of the songs -- including the bluesy "Ooh Po Pe Do Girl" and the hook-laden "I'll Search The Sky" by Jeff Hanna, and Copeland and Noonan's (the "Buy for Me the Rain" team) "Tide of Love" -- are as solid as anything coming out of California. Even the kazoo-dominated "Coney Island Washboard" and "Happy Fat Annie" and the nostalgic '20s-styled Jackson Browne-written "It's Raining Here in Long Beach" fit well into the mix, reflecting the full range of the band's influences.

As to why this record never caught on, it could be the timing -- released late in 1967, in the wake of Sergeant Pepper (which had its own musichall influences, albeit of the English variety, and covered with lots of psychedelic overdubbing) and the Summer of Love, it just wasn't what college kids starting their search for the Lost Chord were looking for. Maybe a kazoo or two less would've helped, and a real drug song or two wouldn't have hurt, but these guys would play a jug band number ahead of a drug anthem anytime. Their cover of Brewer and Shipley's "Truly Right" is pretty spacy in its production, though, but "The Teddy Bear's Picnic" -- an adaptation of an old children's song -- was probably beyond the pale of most listeners. Beyond NGDB completists, anyone looking for a companion to Notorious Byrd Bros. or the Monkees' Aquarius, Capricorn Pisces & Jones Ltd., or a precursor to Crazy Horse's At Crooked Lake, need look no further.
