Free Music Review: Live BR5-49 catches the original line-up at their peak
Hit: 4 Stars
Let me go on record and flat-out state that I really like BR5-49. I liked the original line-up and I like the current version as well. This CD combines some of the well-known BR5-49 material (Even If It's Wrong) with some very nice suprises including Six Days on the Road, the 18-wheeler truckin' song of all-time. On Waitin' for the Axe, Chuck and Gary combine for some great harmony work - sounds like the Everly Brothers. The songs that really draws me on this record are Pourin' Pain and Big Mouth Blues with the repeated references to "New York City's got a lot to do with it". I've played this CD a bunch of time, especially on road trips when I'm driving by myself and need something lively to sing-along to. This recording features Donnie Herron, the secret weapon of the band, as he let's it rip on lap steel, fiddle and mandolin. I happened to see the band just after they released this CD and it was a memorable performance. I think that this CD highlights the original band line-up very nicely. This band always struck me as one of being very talented and a bit off the radar screen of many music fans. It's really too bad because BR5-49 could (and can) dish it with the best of 'em. This is a good country CD and very enjoyable.
Coast to Coast Live Poster
It's taken them three albums to shake their excessive campiness, self-conscious oldies re-creations, and uneven originals, but most of this live collection reflects a more mature, confident, and distinctive BR5-49. Along with a beefier rhythm section behind Gary Bennett and Chuck Mead's vocals, Don Herron's inspired choice to use his non-pedal steel as sort of a supercharged, slashing slide guitar alters the texture of their sound for the better. The witty "Better Than This" and "Waitin' for the Axe" reflect vastly improved in-house material, and that improvement extends to oldies as well. Compare the bonus track, a watery studio re-creation of the Farmer Boys' "You're a Hum-dinger," with their muscular live renditions of Gram Parsons's "Big Mouth Blues," Don Gibson's "Sweet, Sweet Girl," and Dave Dudley's trucker anthem "Six Days on the Road." Misfires include an incongruous revival of Charlie Daniels's incredibly dated 1973 hippie vs. redneck novelty "Uneasy Rider" and Bob Wills's "Brain Cloudy Blues," a well-chosen song undermined by a stiff, clumsy arrangement. Nonetheless, the fact that they've at last found their voice bodes well for the future. --Rich KienzleCountry Music CDs
