Search - The Stone Coyotes :: Ride Away From The World

If There Was Justice in the World of Music

(4 out of 5 stars)

"The Stone Coyotes would be widely recognized as one of the best bands in the world. Making music as American as anything ever made by Creedence Clearwater Revival combined with the energy of the early Clash, the band borrows from the best of country, rock, punk, folk and even heavy metal to make something both unique and yet very familiar. With "Ride Away" the band concocts a successful brew again, with even more range in styles, etc (with greater emphasis on acoustics) than in past recordings. I only give "Ride Away" 4 stars because it is not the astonishing suprise of "Church of the Falling Rain" certainly one the most unsung recordings of the last decade, if not the best in the US. It would be a real shame if this band couldn't get the exposure and support it deserves so I hope you will check out Ride Away and their other work."

"I know of two songs about the Quecreek miners. The nostalgic, lame, cashing in faux-solemnity of the Buddy and Julie Miller cut - and this track by The Stone Coyotes - "Pennsylvania Coal Mine" is a song that celebrates the survival and heart of the miners and the effort of all to rescue them. With a lyric like "And when someday I die/and they lay me in the ground/my soul shall rise and it will be/the second time around" how can you go wrong?"
