Brother
1992
Favorite tracks: Highway Jones, Too Cold In the Winter, Peace Pipe
Sleeper tracks: Pretty As You Please, Gotta Love Me
Rock radio played 2 songs from this album. They were pretty popular because they sounded like the Black Crowes but a little sleazier. I remember back in 1998 I tried out for a band that loved this album. We worked on "Too Cold..." and "Peace Pipe". It would have worked if I didn't have to drive 20 miles each way for practice, 2 nights a week.
The album is a really good blues-rock record. The production is great and most of the songs had my foot tapping. I never really gave the album its due except for the 'hits'. I will listen to this again.
Sidebar: The drummer from this band (and the bass player for a short time) were members of the Chris Duarte group. I was able to see the drummer play with him at Ryan's Ballroom in Combined Locks. He was great to talk to. I think I saw the bass player with Chris at a show in Minneapolis but again, my memory is not what I'd like it to be.
