Description
The answer to early The Black Crowes. This band had it all. They were in a big label, had Andy Wallace to produce them, had all the great songs that you would hope to hear and still did become a big name. This is a must have nevertheless.

This is actually a pretty good. “Brand New Amerika” was a minor hit. Really there are no bad songs on it. The only problem is that this came out at a time when this style of hard rock was being phased out in favor of Grunge and alternative. So they never stood a chance of becoming as big as they deserved to. Recommended.

nice disc. I was really excited about it when I first heard it. Catchy hard rock, some great tunes here.

Good bluesy hard rock album for those who like Black Crowes or Ragging Slab. Don’t mistake these guys for a hairband….. Bought this on a whim and it rocks. Totally AWESOME I love it has some great catchy tunes the music does not overpower the vocals either which is cool!!!

Consistent…not a filler on the disc. Just great catchy, melodic rock ‘n’ roll. Everything on it is tasteful and sounds like it should be there right down to the guitar solos. I bought this when it came out and I still listen to it regularly.

Am VERY glad I bought this. Good,bluesy hard rock that does indeed bring the Black Crowes to mind,but on various songs, I was also reminded of the Rock City Angels,Tora Tora, Junkyard, and even Drivin’ n Cryin’. While there are some tracks that don’t really jump up and grab me,as others have said, theres not really a bad song on this disc.”Brand New Amerika” is GREAT. Go grab this one now…

Ditto – love this one – recommended to anyone into Cry of Love/Black crowes etc – most of the songs are catchy and all of them are good
———————————————————-
let me just say love them… espically the drummer!
Dennis is one of the most underrated singers in the 90s. It is still one my favorites today.

I just picked this cd up…glad i did too! It is a really good, catchy! Definately a great CD! I recommend it! This is a gem that no one knows about. If you like the Black Crowes and ZZ Top, you will dig these guys. I agree with the posts above, not a bad tune on the whole damn thing.

HardRock album with a Southern edge, clean production, if you like Black Crowes or Cry of Love you´ll definitely enjoy this one.
