A thousand stars for this CD. I LOVE these guys. This was my first Gourds CD and I still like it best, although now in my iTunes, there are 188 more that I have purchased since then. I categorize them as 'hickabilly' but sometimes they're categorized as country (which they're not), sometimes rock (which they're not), sometimes alternative... I guess that might be the most fitting, although if you look at other 'alternative' they're not really in that group either. They belong in a new genre, called 'gourds music'. If you like happy music, do yourself a favour and check them out.
Not always as serious as the Drive By Truckers but just about as good and 100x better than most of the partially reconstituted mashed potatoes coming out of Nashville. Speaking of food this goes equally well with moonshine, marijuana or cheap beer. Speaking of drugs there is a certain psychedelic touch. This is also one of the better examples of accordion not being not nearly as bad (actually pretty good) as some are accustomed to. Trampled By the Sun is my favorite tune I think.
WOW!! That is all you can say after you listen to this CD. I wish I could have the oppurtunity to listen to this disc again for the first time. It's a disc that has country sadness without the extreme sapiness. The only thing better than The Gourds on CD is seeing them live. Getter done!!
