Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars I really enjoy listening to this guy.......2005-07-09

Whether it was Roger and his Refreshment buddies or Roger and his AZ Peacemakers, the product was still strong. There is a purity to his music that is hard to describe. His songs deal largely with the Southwest and always have that great cowboy guitar in it. This album is a little bit of a departure from his Refreshments' stuff, which was a little more honkytonk/rocknroll and other than "Colorblind Blues", there are no weak tracks. Good stuff!

5 out of 5 stars Move over Bruce, the new Boss is here.......2003-11-11

No one in rock plays harder live than Roger Clyne, including the Boss. If you like your rock, fun, hard, meaningful, thoughtful, sometimes whimsical and all together eclectic, this it the band. From straight rocking it on songs like Colorblind Blues, to breaking your heart with a song (from a terrific storyteller like Roger Clyne,) about a dearly departed friend as in Ashes of San Miguel, to silly, "celebrate your inner White Trash" roots, country-fried rock in Bury My Heart at the Trailer Park, this CD has a little for everyone, and lot to offer if you got the mind open enough to hear what Roger has to say. With a couple of decidedly more Mexican border rock tracks with songs like Better Beautiful Than Perfect, and the title track you'll soon have a whole new perspective on living in those dusty borderlands. Thanks Roger.

5 out of 5 stars album: 5 stars, live show: 6 stars. wow........2003-10-13

I listenend to Roger Clyne while he was in the Refreshments and really appreciated his first album. He had a freshness and charismatic outlook that makes you younger for having heard it, and the way he seamlessly blends his Southwestern lifestyle with his music makes me at once envious of him and proud just to bear witness to it. I lamentably stopped paying attention to them after Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy and missed their second CD, Bottle and Fresh Horses. Then just recently I downloaded a bunch of songs from his catalog and to my great surprise I realized that not only had he not fallen off the face of the earth, but he has been steadily grinding out what may be the only true American music for the last decade with his new (sort of) band the Peacemakers. While I can't say with certainty that he has been getting better, I can say that he has been traveling in a (pretty) straight line and you can literally watch him grow from an immature young savant into a pensive and wise man. He has equipped himself with equally awesome band members. Danny Blanco, PH Naffah (from the Refreshments) and Steve Larson (from Dead Hot Workshop) all do a spectacular job but they are eclipsed by that divine young man Roger Clyne.

5 out of 5 stars Really Great Music.......2003-08-15

This is a great new CD which is similar to the defunkt "The Refreshments", it has some great songs.. and I recommend anyone pick it up!

5 out of 5 stars This one grows on you.......2002-12-25

I went to see Roger Clyne & the Peacemakers as a sentimental visit back to my college days. I did some time in the Tempe bar scene seeing bands like the Refreshments, the Gin Blossoms and Dead Hot Workshop. This album came with the ticket price. And the first time I listened, I thought it was destined for a garage sale.

But a few tracks (Sleep Like a Baby and Bury My Heart in the Trailer Park), kept me coming back for another listen. This album grew on me to the point that I now think it is destined to wear out and be replaced.
