"Three wild and crazy drunks form New Orleans, LA who put on the wildest rock and roll show to be found anywhere - that's Dash Rip Rock. Let me just say that they broke my musical world wide open. I was twelve or thirteen, and like most Jr. high kids of the day I was enthralled by hair metal, and maybe Huey Lewis. Well, my friend John Fernandez had an older sister Jyoti who worked for our lcal college radio station. Well, one day he brougth me a tape of THIS band. Boom, that was it. This was it I left top 40 and never looked back (except maybee for a glimpse of that red-headed Spice Girl. For that, this band will always be special to me. Now, to the music. Dash Rip Rock has been many things. They can be saccarine sweet, or super raunchy, erudite and elegant, or primitive and brutal. Most of all however, they are just too much fun. Their music runs from country to punk to pop, and hits every mark in between. PAYDIRT, their seventh album (which I just snagged an advance casset copy of)is the perfect combination of all their styles and strengths. The're a great band - the greatest, forever on the brink of stardom, who might just make it all the way with this effort. Catch them if you can - and don't let go!! Country Dick - Lookee Here! Michael Thomas"

GREAT!!!!
