Synopsis

Amazon.com

The name Sons of the Desert recalls such classic Western harmony groups as Sons of the Pioneers and Riders of the Purple Sage. But the band, which came up on the Texas dancehall circuit in the late '80s, claims it took the name from an old Laurel and Hardy movie. Whatever. Change is the Sons' first release on MCA Nashville after a stillborn 1997 debut for Epic. Lead vocalist Drew Womack cowrote 5 of the 11 tracks, while brother Tim Womack took care of the electric guitar duties--most notably on a twanging, thick-stringed cover of John Hiatt's "Real Fine Love." On the album's best song, "What I Did Right," Drew Womack displays a set of blue-eyed soul pipes worthy of Michael McDonald. But too often Sons of the Desert settles for that bland, marshmallow country-pop sound--spongy on the outside, gooey on the inside--that has characterized contemporary country vocal groups from Alabama to Little Texas. Sometimes the more things Change in Nashville, the more they stay the same. --Rick Mitchell

CD Reviews

Sons are incredible

Kelly Jones | South Amherst, Ohio | 07/06/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased the Sons' first album in 1997 and was thouroughly impressed. They immediately became my favorite band. I was wondering when they were going to release a new project and when I saw the Albuquerque single last summer, I bought it as well. I anxiously awaited the release of their self-titled follow-up and was very disappointed to find out that a disagreement with Epic cancelled its release. I didn't even know they had signed on with MCA, let alone released another album, but when I saw "Change", I immediatley purchased it and was not disappointed. The band is even better than before. My personal favorite song on the album is "I Need to Be Wrong Again." It's a great song and the guys really rock on it. "Too Far To Where You Are," "What I Did Right," and "Everbody's Gotta Grow Up Sometime" are great songs as well. The only disappointing thing is that I have yet to hear a song on the radio off this album. However, as country fans know, what radio says is good and what really is good are usually two different things."

AMAZING! !

"This CD is excellent! When your playing this in your car you can't help but to turn up the volume. One of my personal favorites is "What I Did Right" it is a beautiful song that has a lot of meaning to it. The harmonies are excellent and the lyrics are great. There is not one bad song on this album."

This band is here to stay....

"First of all I don't think Rick Mitchell of Amazon.com owns a country music album anyway, so if we will all disregard his ignorant comments, the world would be a better place. In the two years since "Sons'" first release hit the stores, I've been wondering how they would fair on their sophomore effort, especially on a new label under a new producer. The end result is very impressive with Drew's voice sounding better than ever, as well as an ever deeper variety of songs. I considered the first album outstanding and this one is even better. There is simply not a bad cut on this project. This band will definitely be around when it's all said and done. Rick Mitchell's opinion will not."
