Synopsis

Amazon.com
This Georgia band of self-proclaimed good ol' boys either suffers from a split personality or has an expansive idea of what its market might be. While the generic bluster of "I'm a Country Boy" suggests Lynyrd Skynyrd wannabes, the lighter, harmony-laden evocations of youthful impetuosity ("Call Me Crazy") and innocence ("Summer of Love") skew closer to Tim McGraw. Between those extremes are a jukebox rocker ("Dixie Boy Special"), a cruisin' anthem ("Hey Baby") and even a bit of beyond-the-law country funk ("Gravy"). The soulful (Allmanesque?) balladry of "All This Love" and "Tell Me" shows more emotional depth and musical maturity than the rest. Even good ol' boys must grow up and find themselves sometime. --Don McLeese

CD Reviews

Long fall from Longfall
JMW | 09/21/2006
(2 out of 5 stars)

"There are a couple OK tracks on this disc but this is far and away NOT the same Lost Trailers that put out some of my favorite music of the past few years.



Gone are the well crafted, story like lyrics and any sound of Southern rock. Those great stories (Longfall, Pontchartrain, Love & War, West End, Dougherty County, Under FM Waves and SO many more) and great music (See above as well as Red Sun, Sitting on Top of the World and Down in the Valley) have been replaced by Gravy, Dixie Boy Special & I'm a Country Man and the same old radio friendly country sound you can hear from anyone.



The sad irony in this are the lyrics to Under FM Waves (from New Age Cowboy) and how they talk about how much great music resides off radio--and look at what has happened: songs to created to make it on radio (which granted, should make them big).



Try their other 3 available cd's (Story of the New Age Cowboy, Trailer Trash and Welcome to the Woods). They have some other very hard to find music out there but these 3 should be available (Trailer Trash is a mix of songs from Rock Band, songs that ended up on Welcome, etc).



P.S. to the last review--Ryder Lee is the lead vocalist. Geoffrey Stokes Neilson is the guitarist and lead songwriter.

What happened to the alt?

"Very dissapointing...The Lost Trailers are obviously hoping for Country Music airplane on this latest release. They certainly can no-longer be considered an alt.county band. The songs are terribly shallow - unlike anything they had released before.

Welcome to thew Woods was so good...this is lousy.



Why the change in music philosophy guys?"
Wow, not the same Trailers I saw in concert

"I bought the CD on spec, figuring its The Lost Trailers...the band who'd brought me Under FM Waves, Horse, and Fire on the Pontchartrain..it HAS to be good. I was wrong. It sounds like the very worst of 'pop country' out there. If you like that sort of thing, you'll enjoy this cd, if you prefer the story driven songs and interesting guitar work...save your money (( or if you are curious, you can buy my copy of the CD on ebay ))"
