Free Music Notes for This Is BR549

Free Music Review: Solid rockabilly, but nothing special.
Hit: 3 Stars

When you hear the first cut, you have high hopes. "Too Lazy to Work, Too Nervous to steal," is exactly what you're looking for: catchy tune, clever lyrics with a good sense of humor and solid playing. But they really only reach this height a few times; "Psychic Lady" works well and the Nick Lowe cover, "Play That Fast Thing" seems right up there alley; the rest of the CD is solid rockabilly but seems a bit staid and safe. This band always had a rep for playing it fast and loose and this really isn't reflective of that status.

This Is BR549 Poster

Once upon a time, BR549 were the new-traditionalist kids on the Lower Broadway block, working for tips, taking on the toughest stump-the-band requests, and almost single-handedly cracking open a calcified Nashville scene. In 2001, five years since their first album, they haven't changed their good-natured, no frills, honky-tonkin' sound. They still blaze through twangy rock like the Everly Brothers' "Price of Love," still spin through hillbilly swing like Chuck Mead's terrific original "Fool of the Century," and they're not afraid to get shamelessly sentimental, as on Gary Bennett's "Different Drum." If there's a misstep, it's a small one: "A Little Good News" is the kind of wishy-washy liberalism better suited to Oprah than the Opry. Yet few young bands wear simple country pleasures as well as BR549. The hyphen may be gone, but the heart isn't. --Roy Kasten
