Guys, the CD is very good. I haven't seen you guys lately, but I will eventually. I noticed that Mr. Hambone hasn't been on here lately, That seems like a plus to me. Just wanted to drop a line to say Hello and that the album is awesome.

I don't think ANYONE will be taking Lonestar up on the "money back guarantee" for Ragweed's new cd. Just finished listening to "Highway 377" for the first time, and I am in absolute awe of these four guys. The music takes you through a whole range of emotion - from rocking out, to sentimental to empowered to eternally grateful to downright tearful - in 53 minutes. What a testament to the true talent, passion and tenacity of everyone involved witht he band. It is indeed the "Year of the Ragweed."

This is the best cd that I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I bought it on News Year Eve and have almost worn it out in 24 hours. If you don't have this cd then you will be the lone one. This is the year of Ragweed. This year will be an explosion for the boys from Yukon. If this band comes to your town make sure that you go because they will be playing stadiums before you know it. This is the band that change music and will do it without Nashville. So take advantage of your time with these guys.

Cody, Grady, Jeremy, Randy, Shannon, and McClure.... I opened up a copy of Highway 377 yesterday and I must say I am totally blown away. Congratulations on an incredibly solid new CD that is definately going to turn heads everywhere. If you don't have a Cross Canadian Ragweed CD, buy this one... If you don't like it, I will personally refund your money. Orders must be placed before January 5, 2001 and you must enter "Money Back Guarantee" in the comment line of your order to qualify. You can't beat that!

Even with all the things I have written about Ragweed in the rinky-dink OSU newspaper, it is still amazing that all the guys in the band take several minutes of their time each show to come say hey to me. Ragweed is bigger than anything I can write, and as big an egotist as I am, I am still amazed that the guys even know my name. The music is as good, and real, as it gets, and anyone who has seen their live show knows how good that is. If you do ONE thing in 2001, buy "Highway 377." If you do TWO things in 2001, go find the guy that stole Cody's Seagull acoustic and kick his ass ... or, even better, drag him to the Wormy Dog and let us all kick his ass. --Crutchmer

I have to say, the boys from Oklahoma just keep on keepin' on. Ok - so we're a little biased here in Amarillo. Just when we thought they couldn't get any better or any stronger they top themselves again. Aside from the fact that they can get a crowd going and keep 'em up for their entire show (which is usually around 3 hours), they sound better and better every time they play. We fans have a tendancy to start taking for granted the shows, the energy and the music of our favorite bands but Ragweed doesn't let us do that with them. There is absolutely nothing about them that speaks complacency. And in case you question that, just wait til January 2. "Highway 377" WILL be the CD of the year - No question about it. This CD is a landmark on the journey of CCR and it's postcard pretty. You can check out their site and teasers for the CD at www.crosscanadianragweed.com. Congrats, CCR. You've worked your ass off for this.

I saw CCR and Jason Boland last night at Lucy's Retired Surfer's Bar, and let me just say they put on the best live show I've ever seen (and I've seen Pat, Cory, Robert Earl, Jerry Jeff, Roger Creager, Jack Ingram, etc...). My friend and I saw Cody while Jason Boland was playing, and we went up to talk to him. Although he'd never seen us before in his life, he acted like we were old college buddies from Stillwater. He was the nicest most humble man of his stature I've ever met. His wife, Shannon, was also an extremely nice lady. As for their show, they were absolutely incredible. Not only did they play for 2+ hours, they played all of their best songs like "Workin' on OK", "Bang My Head", "Headed South", "Carney Man", and "Boys from Oklahoma". They mesh so well together as a band and play with more emotion than I've ever seen anyone play with. Grady even let my buddy and I sing the chorus to "Boys from Oklahoma" one time. To top the show off, they did an outstanding cover of Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" as well as Little Feat's "Willin'" that was better than any version ever performed by Son Volt or Uncle Tupelo. They closed the show with The Violent Femmes "Let Me Go On" that had everyone sayin' damn these guys are awesome as they were leaving. Not only are they the hottest act out there, but they are the nicest most fan friendly down to earth people around. As for Jason Boland, he is far and away the hottest up and coming artist out there right now and is destined for great success. Pearl Snaps is an incredible album and, his song writing has traces of WIlly Nelson and Johnny Cash among others. I can't wait until these guys play another show together.
