Free Music Notes for Mission California
Free Music Review: A great record. Surprised? Of course not.
Hit: 5 Stars
One of the music world's best-kept secrets (though they're gaining notoriety; Dierks Bentley mentions them in his latest single, and CMT is picking up their videos), Cross Canadian Ragweed is one hell of a band. For those of you who have yet to be initiated, the band is comprised of guitarist/vocalist Cody Canada, rhythm guitarist Grady Cross, drummer Randy Ragsdale, and bassist Jeremy Plato. They combine rock, folk, country, and blues into a sound that is not quite unique, but is entirely unforgettable.
Ok. There's the brief intro. Now, to those of you who know CCR (which you probably already do): MISSION CALIFORNIA is kick-a**. That sums it up right there, but okay...highlights include the scathing "Dead Man" ("if there's a dead man in my closet, show me the bones"); the historical "In Oklahoma"; Todd Snider's "I Believe You"; the hooky "NYCG"; the raucous "Smoke Another"; Plato's wonderful cover of "Soul Agent"; the acoustic hidden track (there's one on every CCR record, isn't there?); and every other song.
Okay...so you're probably already gonna buy this record, since odds are you're already a Ragweed fan. That's cool--thanks for taking the time to read this review, which in your case was probably rather pointless. If you AREN'T already familiar with the band, then, for God's sake, hop on board the frickin' bandwagon. Cross Canadian Ragweed are one of the few country bands left out there with genuine grit, talent, and a mission. MISSION CALIFORNIA is the perfect place to start familiarizing yourself with their music.
Mission California Poster
After being together for over 13 years, Cross Canadian Ragweed knows their way around the concert circuit and has become one of the most successful touring bands in the "Alt Country" genre. The band burns up the road playing over 220 dates a year and with each new city their fan base continues to grow. Grossing over $2.5 million in hard ticket sales in one year, this band has played in front of sold out crowds from coast to coast, including the Nokia Theater in Time Square as well as Houston's Lone Star Park, where they broke Willie Nelson's attendance record. Their 4th studio album on Universal Records South titled, mission california., not only holds true to their signature sound but also delivers a few surprises including multiple appearances by Lee Ann Womack. Fans new and old alike are sure to get what they've been waiting for with mission california. This CD has a something for everyone and is a must have for anyone who loves great music.Country Music CDs
