Let?s Have A Hand For The Drummer Man

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This outstanding album will delight fans of alt-country bands like Son Volt and Steve Earle as well as fans of psychobilly madmen like Webb Wilder and The Beat Farmers and even fans of straight ahead rock bands like the Counting Crows and Sister Hazel. Please keep in mind that the Mouth are better than all of the aforementioned artists. Live, they are irresistible, in the studio, they are heavenly, and I feel compelled to reiterate the words of other reviews who have said "they make you believe, if even for a little while, that everything is going to be alright.". They provide passion, insight and rollicking good music. It's a crime that they aren't huge. This album is so good that I made a habit of picking up extra copies to give to friends (including LoE and tMoBY). All the tracks are standouts, but I will give a few an honorable mention: `Drummer Man', `Shotgun In My Soul', `Crazy Bout Ya' and `Out Of My Way Back To You'. I recommend Cowboy Mouth to everyone, and you should buy ALL their albums."
