very well written album with Phil's "Bruising Sheetrock" one of the saddest songs ever written, I think this album and "High Tide in the Heartland" are a must own to understand and respect Phil's depth and versatility. Very different from the main Texas scene but worth listening to over and over again.
People that are fans of Phil know his struggle to play Rock & Roll in honky tonks across this great state and this band kicks ass.
Stop the madness just listen to the new record if you don't like it find someone else to bash. These are Phil fans and we don't want your opinion unless you give it a chance. Pass judgment after you see them live people....
Those who pass judgment and don't stop to listen deserve no respect and those who have seen Phil live know that one day all will know the greatness of Pritchett. Best live Texas ask, Jack I. or Cody C. they know the greatness.
Most would actually listen to the new album and see Phil live before passing judgment but lately we have had some real junior high music fans give us their un-wanted opinion but let me say this, if you listen to the new album and can't enjoy one song on it then go pick up the new Toby Keith album and get out of the Texas music scene.
The new CD is damn good and the live show is hard to beat. The new album is very Tom Petty meets the Boss.
Hey Bill Johnson you should try and not be such an ass till you see these guys live and check out their latest album it's guys like you that rush out to buy the latest crap that everyone else buys. Phil is different from the main stream and you've got to listen to more than one album and see a live show before you run your mouth off.
The new album is among the best from a Texas songwriter. Not the tradtional style but still keeps it close to home with the feeling poured in to it and a rock'n'roll revival feel. The shows are amazing and full of energy. Everyone who has heard him in my car or what not immediately asks who that is and are hooked. I can only wonder what a live album of Hightide would sound like.
Your not thet great.......
From front to back this CD is greatness, it has a dark underlining tone wrapped in an old school rock feel. If you like Petty and The Boss you'll love High Tide in The Heartland. Looking for something different that has some depth? This is right up your alley, because it's the best new music on the Texas scene. If you like the new CD go see them Live they give one of the best rock shows around. These three guys are road vets that play tight and leave everything out on the stage when they close the show.
