Super follow-up to the popular, "Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy," this CD takes a more serious turn to the silly lyrics in FFBB, but this doesn't mean the songwriting has gotten any worse. Alternately wistful and cheerful, this disc is a solid accompaniment to any 90's alternative rock collection. Standout track: Preacher's Daughter.

Even better than the first!

"True talent! How a band like this could not have hit the big time after their first (and only) two albums is beyond me. This is quite possibly my favorite CD of all time. It's an incredible shame to see a band like this break up after an "unsuccessful" second album (especially when I look at some of today's "talent"). The music is a bit more on the serious side than the first record, but the boys come through with incredible sound and lyrics that stick in your mind. Any fan of music would do well to add this one to their collection."

Still a damn good cd...

""The Bottle and Fresh Horses" continues in the same path where the Refreshments left off from their first album "Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy". Although this album isn't as much fun as the bank robbing sound you find in their first album, it still rips a meaning to the heart, it has more of traveling sound by horse from bar to bar looking for the right woman. Yeah! sounds great this album deserves more of a 4 and a half stars rather than just 4, but falls short of 5 because of their great first album. Every song is unique, from the meaningful lyrics found in "Sin Nombre", to the bashing of an ex-girl in "Fonder & Blonder", not to mention a catchy-twangy "Horses" song, and the stop dead at a bar depressed sound found in "Una Soda". The Refreshments have it all and got better in their lyrical background on this one, overall a damn good cd. Ride away with this one!"
