Free Music Notes for A Blessing and a Curse Album
Free Music Review: THE best rock band out there...
Hit: 5 Stars
and when I say rock, I mean true rock n-friggin-roll.
This album is more of the same from the Truckers, yet so different I just want to ask them, "how the hell do you do it??"
A lot of reviewers are quick to highlight that the Truckers have shed their "southern rock" skin for this album, and that's easy to see...however, in the words of Jason Isbell, "most classic rock was either directly influenced by or came from the South."
So in Blessing we see the Truckers paying homage to their rock n' roll influences from across the water (Stones, Faces, etc...).
But, we all know who influenced all those guys don't we?
That's right...so it all comes full circle, yet again echoeing the motto of Patterson Hood since Southern Rock Opera..."Such is the duality of the Southern Thing."
My only criticism is that Isbell and Cooley only have two tracks each on here, but there's noone else I would want out there pickin' up the slack like Hood does so effortlessly.
Even tho their quantity of songs are low, Isbell and Cooley's quality hits you so hard you may need a shot of whiskey to get you back up off the floor.
Can you say pure unapologetic honky-tonkin' rock and roll?
I knew you could.
I can't write about the Truckers without mentioning two of the best rhythm musicians out there, from which no one would be able to keep in time if it weren't for (man, talk about a crappy run-on sentence). As usual, the EZB and beautiful MRS. Shonna keep the Truckers in line throughout the album, imbelishing when necessary, backing off when asked.
Simply put...after my long rambling of course...once you pop this in your cd player or what have you, it will be easy to agree with the last line of the cd said by the oldest Trucker of them all, "It's Great To Be Alive."
