Hey, Heather. (A) The song you downloaded was an explicit copyright violation when you stole it from Jason Boland off of NAPSTER. Thou shalt not steal! Did you forget that one? (B) What do you expect with a title like that. (C) Get a life!

I recently bought Pearl Snaps and loved the whole CD which was unusual for me. However I downloaded a song of the Stragglers from Napster called "You Rich Young Dumb Blonde Nymphomanic" and was very displeased by the vulgarity of the song. I am ashamed that you would even get on a stage and sing that song. I thought that Jason Boland's parents were strong supporters of him, but I know I would never want to hear words like that come out of my children's mouths. Hope you guys will keep up the work you displayed in Pearl Snaps and leave out the "F" word.

Hey, has anyone else noticed that the #2, #5, #7, #8, #15, and #21 best selling CD's on this site are all from the Red Dirt scene in Stillwater, OK? I sure wish they'd stop referring to it as "Texas music".

10:30 pm-2:00 am 11-20-00 Tell ya what.... What in the hell would make three hundred people want to come out to a bar in Stillwater on a cold night and pay money to get in on Saturday night? Was it the game in town between OSU and Baylor? Hell no, nobody in Stillwater cared about this pillowfight for last place in the big twelve. Was it the fact that every other bar in Stillwater was packed full and was one in one out? Hell no, the town and every bar in town was practically deserted except the Wormy Dog. So....what was the reason? Jason Boland and the Stragglers. These guys drew a crowd to the home bar and put on a great show. This band is unafraid to pull out original music and make you like it as much as the most familiar cover song. The Stragglers did their fair share of cover songs (Willie's 'Whiskey River', a burn down rock 'n roll version of Billy Joe's 'Thunderbird Wine', Jerry Jeff's 'Sangria Wine', and even an old favorite of brother band Cross Canadian Ragweed's), but the highlight of the show was the originals. My only recommendation is to buy the CD, bone up on the lyrics, check the website, find out when and where they are close, and make the trip and sing along. You won't regret it.

Best performer I have seen in concert in a long time. In the past 2 months I have seen Pat Green, Roger Creager, Cooder Graw, Cross Canadian Ragweed, the Great Divide, and Jack Ingram. Jason Boland and the Stragglers are better than any of these great singers.

I may get into trouble for writing this, but I think Pearl Snaps is right up there with "Old No. 1" by Guy Clark and "Red Headed Stranger" by Willie Nelson. Every song is my new favorite and every song is the best I've heard...until the next track starts. The Stragglers have opened the door for me to a new world of music from Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jack Ingram, Reckless Kelly, the Robinson brothers, etc., which I'm not only happy with the music, but happy to support it as well. Special thanks to the band and their fans for welcoming me into their family. Looking for to next cd next year and seeing you guys on the road.

Jason and the guys....simply put.... YALL ROCK!

This is the best CD I have heard in a long time. The songs he sings about really moves you.

Mr. Hambone still needs to be fed to the dogs. I believe nothing that he says. He may have not said anything about you, but he said something bad about our friends.(CCR) I think Mr. Hambone just needs to stop going to the shows if he feels this way. The only people that need to be there is the people that respect who their watching. He shouldn't be at the shows until he apologizes. Maybe they did have something on their minds that night. Maybe they were thinking about the family that they have to leave behind just to perform awesome shows for us. So Mr. Hambone just appreciate when they come to your hometown. They are their for you, so you can enjoy their music. Appreciate it or quit listening to the fine sounds they bring.

First of all I never said that Cody Canada didn't have talent, I said he seemed like someone who was always on stage and wasn't the cool guy I thought I was. Secondly, I never said one negative thing about Jason Boland. In fact, if you would take the time to read my past reviews (instead of getting drunk and rambling) you would notice that I raved about "Pearl Snaps". I notice that there seems 2 B a lot of hostility toward an observation of mine. Can I help it if Cody and Grady were jerks to me? All I was asking is that if someone is a jerk should it take away from the music? No one seemed to answer this question. Everyone seemed to think I was attacking a friend.I know no one wants to hear about someone being starstruck at an afterparty, but that is EXACTLY what happened. Maybe he was having a bad day, but please don't think I am trying to attack someone by stating the truth. I do appreciate Cody Canada's comment about other people "rubbing him the wrongway at first", because that may very well be what happened. I just don't understand why Jason Boland would think I was attacking Cody Canada or him, when I happen to be a huge supporter of his music. In fact, the bass player Grant is quite a character. He is truly the spirit of what this scene is all about. Cody and Grady are completely removed from that (again just what I observed). I apologize for offending anyone, and I didn't mean to imply that the music isn't good, cause it is. All I was trying to ask is: What would you do if you met someone you looked up to and it turned out they were jerks to you? Would you continue to support them or tell everyone you know? Cause, whether you believe it or not, that is EXACTLY what happened to me when I met Cody and Grady. Jason, Please don't think I am attacking you, you weren't there and don't know how Cody acted. I have enjoyed several of your shows, and will continue to support you guys. I hope the rest of you understand where I am coming from, whether you believe it or not.
