WACO BROTHERS - Going Down In History:
Appealing album of familiar numbers, containing lyrical themes you may know. That doesn't make it a bad listen, in fact a time or two it can catch your attention and it actually gets warmed up hittin' on all cylinders. With the push well into alterna-country crossed into rockabilly skittle bands of all shapes and sizes, the Waco Brothers have stood out for a while. They've notched another working man's perspective to all things stone grain fed and homegrown; addin this time around their usual tasteful bits of rock n roll. There's a touch of old time three piece numbers (Building Our Own Prison) touching on the wonders of the current, and everlasting it seems, state of things. Throughout this album the Waco's show they ARE awake, and partying down till the big bell rings in the sky and we all face the massive hangover for our willful ignorance. I'm jamming along, and this old tune UFO did way back, like 40-some years ago, and I'm not sure if they did a remake of someone else's tune at that time, but damn the Waco Brothers do a fantastic job on "All Or Nothing", gaining respect from a old timer who remembers those days when it was everything you got or get the fuck out. Good memories, good times!
Good times, and a bit of the lorry, stand thick and tall throughout. I can count at least half the numbers containing the what-the-fuck let's drink, fight and rally again calls to action. Wherever you're at, those are good ideas. Odds are, things WILL get sentimental. Luckily, the Waco Brothers spare us the tear jerkers, and instead award us w/ a little Moon, Keith that is. "Lucky Fool" so be it! That calls for another round, and the Wac Brothers oblige, pouring up "Going Down In History", which is, of course, what ails ya - "Come into something drastic", as if you'd never been there before! There is a time or two, that the Brothers call upon that sinister specter of late 80's hoedowns. Thankfully, they end it all with "Orphan Song" which let's cha know, "it's gonna be all right"! Indeed! Let's build a fire and drink some cold ones! Contact: BLOODSHOT RECORDS - https://www.bloodshotrecords.com/
