Yeah, and Jason R.'s solo Cd a few years back was (is) the future
of country music. Can you say, "It hit the charts with a resounding
thud"? I thought you could.
Overrated, overamped, overhyped, overplayed, overexposed, overdone,
and over-the-top.
Just digging Dave here......I loved them during their heyday, can't go
down that road any longer. However "Absolutely Sweet Marie" off of the EP
hit me like a shot between the eyes. What a perfect way to extend my
appraciation for punk which was running on empty at that time. That is, I
was tiring of indy punk material but still craved the energy. Bring on
some meldoy and here came along cowpunk. I thought I was saved.
