WOW!

"Talk about a quantum leap! The Bacon Brothers have been a decent band from their first album forward, but this new one is at a different level from the others. Yes, there are distinct influences of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, James Taylor, and even Donovan, but this band has proven that they are now in the same league with those acts, (well maybe not the Beatles)- and they prove it with every song on the disc. This is not just Michael and Kevin - this is a complete unit who have jelled into one of the best bands recording this type of music. More rock and roll than their previous albums - and oh so good. Too bad they will not get taken seriously. My Guess is that the critics won't give this band the credit it deserves because they can never get past the fact that a movie star is in the band. Too bad. Buy the album anyway."

Well worth the wait!

"I have been a huge fan since the Can't Complain CD came out. I had heard them on Howard Stern and ever since then I have bought every CD they had made, including their live DVD. I have seen them in concert 4 times and during the last 3 times I had seen them over the course of 2 and a half years they played some of the songs from this CD. Songs like Tuesday, Unhappy Birthday, and especially Peace Dance I couldn't wait to have them in my collection. It felt like forever until they announced the release of White Knuckles for download so I downloaded it and it was worth the wait. Although I wished I had waited for the hard copy CD because there are 2 extra songs on the later version that are not available to download so I would have to buy an entire CD just for 2 songs. Peace Dance is my favorite of the CD, with a great beat. Tuesday is a sad song that incorporates Michael's chello in a way that the cello seems to be having a conversation with the lead guitar at the end of the song. Unhappy Birthday is also a meloncholy song about 9/11 that has a 60's sound to it. Other great upbeat songs are Good News, Write a Song, and What Am I Gonna Do?



The entire CD is great and I strongly recommend the hard copy, not the download version. Buy it today!"

Another Great One

"I accidentally found The Bacon Brothers on a library CD rack and have been a huge fan ever since. My all time favorite used to be their Forosoco CD and it was hard to love the newer stuff as much as the old stuff(although I always eventually did), but with this new CD the love was instant. After downloading it in September it has had constant play in my CD changer ever since. Listen carefully to the lyrics, they make the songs not just fun to listen to, but fun to sing along to. Be sure to check out "Get Away" and "Good News", my two new favorites. "Tuesday" is pretty powerful also. Great job by a great band!"
