Other stuff to check out.......2006-06-21

I am a huge fan of alt-country, roots rock, Americana or whatever you wanna call it. This is a classic in the genre. Here are some lesser known albums in the genre that are fantastic.
1) End Of The Day by The Reivers
2) Idiots by Frog Holler
3) Banjos and Sunshine by Sixty Acres

A great piece of work!!!!.......2004-09-08

This one is a little obscure and relatively unknown. If you have come this far and found this CD, and it is not in your collection....pick it up today. I have been listening to this for several months, and it gets steady rotation on my car radio.

I cannot think of who to compare BM to, they are a bare bones southern rock band. No frills here, but this type of music is getting very hard to find. Great songs, catchy lyrics. Blue Canoe starts out: "Ridin round the county, drinkin from a jar....Big blue canoe up on top of the car.".....come on, it don't get any better than that. This is a big slice of fun and no thinking required. Another line: "knoggin's gettin saggy and my spirits are draggin, got to take a ride in my blue-eyed wagon." You get the idea...there is not a bad track here.

Music is a matter of personal taste, and customer ratings should all be taken in stride. If any of you out there like this style of rock, I challenge you to purchase this CD and give it a listen. I would be surprised if you did not find this CD as enjoyable as I did. Check out Carey's solo efforts as well.

Ah...Welcome to Alt.Country at its Finest.......2002-01-25

I friend of mine handed me this album in high school and said, "You like that down-home stuff, so I think you'll love this." So here it is about seven years later and I'm still in love with Blue Mountain (although I'm very sad that they broke up). You can put this album on, close your eyes,and feel a nice warm Southern breeze bring a smile to your face as you sit in your rocking chair on the front porch. "Dog Days" breathes through your very soul with folky acoustic and raw electric guitars. "Mountain Girl" forces you to sway as you become a little misty, then "Let's Ride" takes you on a determined cruise downtown in search of trouble. "Dog Days" possesses a duality that's as close to real life as any album has ever come. A wonderful mix of bittersweet sadness and childhood memory, this album is a must for anyone who longs to hear something sincere. Cary Hudson and Laurie Stirratt are my down-home heroes. 'Nuff said.

Interesting Stuff Part II.......2002-01-22

In my search of Alternative Country/roots rock/Americana bands, I narrowed my search down to Blue Mountain. Man I have good research skills! I am as excited about finding this cd as I was when I discovered Blue Rodeo, Golden Smog, and Wilco for the first time many years ago... This is a fine cd of good songs that are well played and that make you want to listen to them again. This cd is growing on me....Go ahead, get your credit card out and buy it!
