Pretty Damn Good Album .......2005-08-05

I found the album of this short lived band because 3/4 of them make up my new favorite band, Louis XIV. (So amazing. They're the saviors of rock and roll.) This is a really amazing album. I love Caught Up In You and Eleventeen which are great songs and my two favorite tracks on the album. Convoy put out something really original, which is no surprise considering the ever-brilliant Jason Hill is behind the project. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is because I'm not crazy about Wet Cement and So Much You Can Do, which I find a little bit on the saccharine side.

R U in His Arms Tonight?.......2005-02-27

This San Diego band's reworking of their first Pineapple Sessions release that contains many of the same songs re-recorded with added punch is an excellent freshman set. The opener "Gone So Quick Tomorrow" is a wonderful waterfall of guitar crunch with great sass & swagger in Jason Hill's vocals, "Here today, but you're gone so quick tomorrow, you roll up the pain & you drink up all your sorrow, I don't know if I'm the only one to believe, the only one in this great big world to see." "Here's Looking at You" is another great track with Hill's vocal attitude and Convoy's offbeat harmonies, "Ain't it the truth how I always seem to catch you looking at me." The closer "California Girls" (not the Beach Boys' tune) is a delightful slower tune with a Lou Reed attitude. All of the songs on "Black Licorice" are strong including the lovely "Is He In Your Heart Tonight" with its wistful melody, "Is he in your head right now? Do you think of him out of spite? Are you in his arms tonight? Is he holding you right now? Was it love at first sight?" This is an excellent disc not to be missed. Wow!

GREAT CD.......2003-12-11

WHy doesnt Amazon sell their first cd the pineapple sessions? You can buy it in local music shops in San Diego. Convoy's new album is on the way in early 2004. Right now the boys are in a project called LOUISXIV. IF they come to your town go see them you wont be disappointed. COnvoy needs to be in everyones collection and not in your underware drawer next to your POISON and BRITNEY scds.

Yes, they are the band in the Mariott ads.......2003-08-06

And yes their album Black Licorice is as catchy as their cover of the Rolling Stones' song: "Let's Spend The Night Together," from the Mariott adverts on TV.

Convoy is sort of a logical post-alternative-rock band. It certainly has its roots firmly set in that genre, but also they have influences ranging from the Rolling Stones to country.

There is not a bad song on the cd (or I have not had to reach for the remote to skip a track factor). The best song on the cd is "Caught Up In You," but I think there is enough variety where if you asked a number of people you would get a variety of answers.

I would give Black Licorice 5 stars if there were just one smash hit song. But it is still a might good cd. If you have not picked it up you are missing something.

Almost Perfect.......2003-05-24

I may not have driven the Convoy truck but I got on board early.
I think I have played Black Licorice more than any album I have ever owned. This is Bad Finger with balls or the Beach Boys with
