These
guys are more and more in the Southern Rock way, maybe since they played
at the Crossroads show with Lynyrd Skynyrd some years ago. However they
always play some commercial New Country (they need money !), but honestly
its a great album from the bad boys from Kentucky !
In their musical approach, Eddie Montgomery and Troy Gentry can be enjoyed
by many different generations of music fans. We often can see parents
and kids at their shows. They cleverly mix different influences, just
like Bob Rock for instance, with New Country and Southern Rock roots,
and they get an efficient cocktail that bring them to be more and more
famous in the United States. Its also a problem for us because
it means it will be hard to see them one day in Europe.
So we just can get the albums and its a good thing. This new album
is really good from the beginning with Big Revival. The
introduction is surprising but soon we get great vocals, a slide guitar,
nice choruses, and a wonderful production to a very high level. And
what can we say about this extraordinary Long Line of Losers,
they are at the top of the New Country. Then with One in every
Crowd, its a kind of Lynyrd Skynyrd revival, and with Look
Some More and I pick my Parties we get some heavy
songs full of feelings.
They sure are the best musicians in that kind of music. I am sure of
this !
