Dash Rip Rock: Beer

You gotta love it when a band intros a song with, "This is a song off our new album about beer" and then, like 5 songs later, they say "This is another song off our new album about beer." And they're good songs. Check 'em out.

Videos: Country Chick songs

I'm no redneck. Really. I'm from Queens NY for Chrissakes! But 2 songs that have been getting a lot of play around here just so happen to be about country chicks. The first is from Dash Rip Rock, who I just experienced for the first time last week here in Albany. Where the hell has this band been all my life? (Ans: playing their asses off in bars these past 25 years. They should be asking me Where the fuck have you been Tom?!?!) Great show, great band, great album I got at the show (their latest CD "Country Girlfriend"). Going in I thought they may be too far toward that rockabilly/cow-punk stuff that I don't really like, such as the Revend Horton Heat. I always found that stuff a bit too hokey/joking. But they're much more of a straight-up rock band when it comes down to it. And they're completely deserving of the "best bar band" tag I've seen associated with the band. This track "Country Girlfriend" is super catchy and absolutely worth checking out.





The second is"Country Gal" by The Gourds from their latest album "Haymaker". For some reason I've found myself liking the second half of albums much more than the first part recently (I enjoy side 2 more than side 1? God, remember album sides...) and that's definitely the case with this Gourds album. This song is another one that's pretty damn catchy.
