Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The award for the most original Christmas album for 2000 goes hands down to the three Osborn sisters--Kristyn, Kelsi, and Kassidy--of Shedaisy for their ambitious pop-rock mini-masterpiece Brand New Year. Exemplary rewrites, rearrangements, and rewired standards such as "Jingle Bells," "Deck the Halls," "Sleigh Ride," and others may tug at your holiday heartstrings for a whole other set of reasons. Add a handful of memorable and sometimes mesmerizing originals and rediscovered gems such as "Christmas Children" from the 1969 musical Scrooge and you've got a record that, at times, almost tries too hard to be too innovative, arty, and occasionally even Beatles-inspired (check that dense harmony and musical interplay/production on "Tinseltown" and the breathtaking arrangement of "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing/Carol of the Bells"). Still, this is an immensely gratifying album even with its slight misses: creative, sometimes caustic, playful, and always full of changes that demand your attention. You won't be disappointed; its rewards for those who stay tuned are many (including a ghost track of a stirring a cappella arrangement at the end). Wow! --Martin Keller

Bottle Rockets shoot fot the stars.......2007-02-17

St. Louis roots rock band The Bottle Rockets are my latest favourite band with their CD brand New Year.
They open shows for Govt. Mule and besides, how can you not love a band with a song called Oh My God the Bar's on Fire (Somebody Save the Beer) or a song about Nancy Sinatra, especially when it has a great harmonized guitar lead riff.
Or for that matter, some of the best electric 12 string playing (Alone in Bad Company) since the Byrds flew high in the 60's.
There is lots of tasty blues tinged playing tinged with a bit of pop punk like the catchy Gotta Get Up and even some country on the infinitely rewindable Love Like a Truck.
And Let Me Know should have been a hit single when this CD was originally released in 1999. (It was rereleased in 2004 on a brand new record label.)
Throughout there are singable choruses and hooks that grab you by the ears and won't let go for an hour.
-- By Richard Amery

Simple pleasures! Great Rock 'n roll!.......2005-07-15

Great songs with massive hooks. These guys get grief over the "simplicity" of their songwriting, but it's some of the best straight-ahead rock 'n roll you'll ever hear.
C'mon, how can you NOT love a song called Love Like a Truck? Or the working class dog anthem Gotta Get Up? Do yourself a favor and pick this one up.

Another winner!.......2004-06-25

This is another great album from the Bottle Rockets. This is really what rock and roll is meant to be. They know how to cut loose and have a good time at what they are doing. Long live the Bottle Rockets!

I've been aware of the Bottle Rockets ever since hearing $1000 dollar car on the Radio down in Sante Fe many years ago. They have the ability to cross country with rock to make a slice of Americana like few other bands. On this offering, they refer to parts of their vissual and audio past with songs like Nancy Sinatra and the Neil Young inspired Headed for the Ditch. The best songs, in my opinion on this CD are Love like a Truck and Sometimes Found. The order of the songs is not correct as listed here on Amazon. The Cd begins with a Acoustic version of Brand New Year and Ends with a Electric Version of the same song. Another nod to Neil Young perhaps in his putting together of Tonights the Night. All that being said this isn't their best work but it's better than most of the material being produced these days. Look for the Brooklyn Side for their Best work.

The Bottle Rockets--arguably the biggest band to come from the middle of nowhere that is Festus, Missouri--have never been afraid to rock. While their alt-country contemporaries pursue a calmer path in the spirit Gram Parsons-influenced Americana, Brian Henneman and his boys play Southern honky-tonk that's steeped in sawdust and beer. On Brand New Year, the band move their straight-ahead rock & roll up a notch, tearing through 14 songs that wouldn't sound out of place performed behind a chicken-wire barricade. That's not to say they've dumbed down; the Bottle Rockets continue their exploration of blue-collar America with keen, average-Joe observations, although they do try a bit too hard on some tracks, notably "White Boy Blues." Most of the songs, however, are fantastic, good-natured barroom rockers: check out the swinging "Nancy Sinatra" and "I've Been Dying," the thundering "Helpless," and the brilliantly titled "Love Like a Truck." Brand New Year is simply good old fist-waving, back-to-basics rock & roll. --Robert Burrow
