Do You Think About Me?
CD SOLD OUT! AVAILABLE ONLY IN DIGITAL FORMAT
"I've been drunk a thousand times, I'd sober up but there's no reason..." — from Napa Valley
High-lonesome spit and three-chord frontal assaults. Includes the chilling and exciting version of Neil Young's "Revolution Blues"
On this "wee-CD" (10 songs, 31 minutes) they deliver more of the high-lonesome spit and three-chord frontal assaults you've come to need.
While the two covers, a blitzkrieg version of Neil Young's "Revolution Blues" (they ain't called the Waco Brothers fer nuthin' you know) and the horn-driven title track, "Do You Think About Me" (by Lonesome Bob)--which is their HUGE CHICAGO RADIO HIT---get most of the attention on this album, there are other lesser known gems to enjoy.
"Arizona Rose" is a lovely waltzing number (with fiddle provided by John Rice), "You Know Who" is a classic sitting at the bar lament about...well, the title says it all. Tracy Dear helms the salute to the fruits of the vine "Napa Valley" and "Hard Times" jumps along, putting a smile on your face like a modern day Ernest Tubb saying the word "Hard" as many times as he can.
Re: 'Revolution Blues: " In 1974 on Neil Young's On the Beach, this Manson Family was lumbering, sardonic, even smug. Now, with the sound of time running matching Jon Langford's race through scattered images of dune buggy attack squadrons and dead dogs on million dollar lawns, the reach for the end of the world in the music suggests a Waco Brother not credited here: David Koresh." —Greil Marcus, Artforum
