If you've never seen this band play live, or at least heard their CDs... you're wasting your life away!
The Weary Boys have to be the most purely FUN band I've experienced live. The shows are high energy--more so than most rock shows. I was an instant fan--it took my husband 3 shows and he was a complete convert--and this from a man who says "turn that off" when I play Patsy Cline--country is not his thing. But the Weary Boys are true old time foot stomping country that ROCKS--they're hard not to love regardless of your favorite music genre. Great original songs blend flawlessly with the classics as you've never heard them. I loved the sight of a guy in a Nine Inch Nails tour shirt singing along to an intense version of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" (the usual closing song it seems) at the Gruene Hall show on the 4th of July. Mario Matteoli's new solo record is a departure--sweet and soft and dark and intelligent songs, harsh but never mean and delivered in a voice that wraps itself around inside your head--it's a permanent resident in my CD player. I can't believe that 6 weeks ago I'd never heard of these guys--they should be world famous. They're in Austin this month (they tour a LOT) so catch a show or two and find out just how good they are.
OH YA GOOD STUFF HEAR LOOK-OUT ALL YOU HAT ACTS
MY Daughter just hit me with a copy of their CD which she picked up at a show in Phoenix AZ. WOW I can sum it up in two words -KICK ASS
i accidentally discovered these amazingly talented guys about 5 yrs ago and i NEVER miss a show. (well okay, i've missed about 6 or 7 in 5 yrs.) i listen to at least 1 (but usually all 4) of their cd's every day and i can't wait for the new one to come out in april. and mario matteoli has his first solo cd coming out, too. i'm from the 'live music' capitol of the world and I go hear a lot of music but I have NEVER come across ANY band as talented and energizing and FUN as the weary boys. awe-inspiring! go see 'em, buy all their cd's, follow them around, whatever it takes to soak 'em all up. i never get tired of seeing them, or listening to them. They kick ass...and take names.
talented musicians with no class
These guys are Hot. They have energy. They have talent. They know and they play REAL country. See em, buy their CDs. You won't be dissapointed. I love em.
Listened to the "Weary Blues" CD, 6 hours all the way to the Smoky Mountains...AWESOME blend of county, bluegrass, roots and jam!
Listening made me weary...
Very energetic and full of life. Its so clear that this band is passionate about the music and the culture. It just pours out of every song. I love the authenticity I feel when I listen to the music. So many phony bands out there these days, and its pretty darn refreshing to find a talented group of gentleman with some genuine heart for what they do. I saw them live in Atlanta and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I couldn't stay still. I had to dance! There's definate bluegrass influence with some honky-tonk. These guys are amazing. Keep on stompin'!
