Title: Awesome Again
Product review: Cowboy Mouth is really one of the great bands out there. Their live shows are unmatched. It's hard to imagine them containing their energy in a studio, requiring as it does such a different type of discipline. This album translates well. The listener can quickly pick out the songs that will have great exuberance live (Glad to Be Alive, Joe Strummer, Voodoo Shoppe), and there are some deep and thoughtful songs (Home, The Avenue) that will keep the CD playing long after the concert. These guys are irrepressible, and while The Avenue (about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans) is one of the most viscerally poignant songs ever recorded, the overall tone of the album is classic upbeat Cowboy Mouth. No holds barred, with the only resolution a blissful exhaustion.
