CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Perhaps the hardest-working band in the Lone Star State, this Denton, Texas, four-piece's annual 250-plus live show agenda has molded them tighter than a No. 6 train in Manhattan rush hour. On Slobberbone's third album, songwriter Brent Best still prays to a homespun punk-rock confessional with both ears equally entrenched in Texas twang, his most intimate stories parlayed into a country-tinged compound of blustery barn-burners and back-porch ballads. The band has matured, slamming the door on their ever-charming sloppiness while turning to pedal steel, mandolin, banjo, even horns. The 12-string and fiddle symmetry of "Meltdown" slams into "Placemat Blues," which borrows a riff from the Replacements' rocker, "I.O.U." (from Pleased to Meet Me, recorded at the same Ardent Studios in Memphis). But the rest of the way, Slobberbone keeps it more refined ("Josephine"), even elegant at times ("Magnetic Heaven"), without ever losing that Southern boy sense of humor ("Gimme Back My Dog," "Pinball Song"). --Scott Holter Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsOne of the most amazing bands ever... J. Bryant | Athens, GA USA | 02/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I fell in love with Slobberbone's "Barrel Chested" while riding in the Drive-By Truckers' van (volume at 11; they're huge Slobberbone fans), and could not believe how good it was. From there I backtracked to the amazing "Crow Pot Pie", and fell even deeper in love - but when I got my copy of "Everything...", I knew I had found a new 'favorite' band. There's not a song on here that doesn't make my Top 100 Songs list, and some are dangerously close to number one. The guitar solo on "Josephine" almost made me pass out the other day. This CD transcends genre - EVERY true music fan should have this CD in their collection." Amazing Band...Crap Band Name J. Bryant | 12/02/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been a fan of Slobberbone for a few years now and have both Barrel Chested and Crow Pot Pie. Nothing could have prepared me for Everything You Thought Was Right Was Wrong Today. From the excellent title to the vastly improved songwriting, Slobberbone has finally gone from crafting above-average cow-punk to becoming one of the best bands of this (or any) genre. Brent Best's voice has improved by leaps and bounds, as has the overall quality of the songs (well, with the possible exception of "Gimme Back My Dog"). Everything You Thought... is quite simply an amazing disc, and I recommend it for fans of any genre of rock music." Keep on rockin' in the free world Julie | Baton Rouge,LA USA | 07/31/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "Anyone who has ever been lucky enough to see this band live will never forget it. They are unquestionably one of the best live bands ever, mixing hard-driving rock and roll numbers with sweet, sad country. This album is good because it captures the feel of Slobberbone, as difficult as that is. Also check out their other two albums (my favorite is barrelchested--"your excuse" is the standout track) If nothing else, get this album so you know the songs when you see them play--it makes it even better. Oh, and be ready to have your heart broken into tiny jagged pieces when they play Josephine. You've been warned."
