Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This album from a package tour of Hightone labelmates sounds less like highlights from individual artists and more like a working band. Veteran road warriors Bill Kirchen, Redd Volkaert, Dallas Wayne, and Joe Goldmark join forces (with Kirchen's rhythm section) for some hard-twanging roadhouse interplay. They trade licks on the likes of Volkaert's "She Loves Anything That Swings" and vocals on the album-opening "Truck Drivin' Man," one of three studio tracks from the otherwise live collection. The set ends, as every Kirchen performance must, with an extended revival of "Hot Rod Lincoln" from his Commander Cody days, with the guitarist paying encyclopedic tribute to dozens of idols from Jimi Hendrix to Johnny Cash. Wayne plumbs the depths of barroom misery on a couple of ballads--his own "The Stuff Inside" and Johnny Paycheck's "In Memory of a Memory"--while steel guitarist Goldmark shows a playful eclecticism on "Wacky Walk." The results are better than a tour souvenir, though not quite the same as being there. --Don McLeese Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Great stuff, really expanded my horizionsThis disk really helped me develop a love for honky tonk music. Both Redd and Dallas have taken a permanent position in my musical collection. If you don't like this disk you are too set in your ways, because these guys are among the best at what they do. And by the way, this is a really fun disk as well. Just a great attitude throughout. Rating:  - Uneven CDThe song, Hot Rod Lincoln, alone is worth the price of the CD. That guy is a master at the guitar, and listening to him play just about every genre of music is amazing. However, the rest of the CD is not so amazing. There are a couple of songs I like, but mostly they are just OK. Rating: - Country/rock/roots supergroup live!This quartet of road-warriors has put quite a few miles on their collective tires. Bill Kirchen, initially a member of Commander Cody's Lost Planet Airmen, has become renowned as the prime purveyor of Dieselbilly -- a combination of roots rock and country, hauled on the road with a trucker's perspective. Redd Volkaert has a day job as one of Merle Haggard's Strangers, and moonlights as a hotshot Telecaster player. Dallas Wayne is a Missouri native whose honky-tonk is simply too country for a radio market that only pays lip service to Haggard and George Jones. Joe Goldmark is a steel player who, in addition to classic country sides, has taken on everything from African Highlife to The Beatles. With so many singer/guitarists in the ... Read More: |
