{"product_id":"big-backyard-beat-show","title":"Big Backyard Beat Show","description":"Amazon.com\n\nBig Backyard Beat Show is aptly named, since it takes the down-home retro twang of BR5-49's earlier releases and punches it up with big, old-school rock \u0026amp; roll beats. That doesn't make this record any less country, though; these boys know that rock \u0026amp; roll was country all along. To wit, rollicking covers of \"Wild One\" and \"Seven Nights to Rock\" are hillbilly boogie and rockabilly, respectively, only with the guitars--both electric and pedal-steel--cranked and twisted to contemporary levels. The only real weakness here is that the originals of frontmen Chuck Mead and Gary Bennett aren't as strong this time around as last, but even then the shuffle \"My Name Is Mudd\" and the driving \"You Are Never Nice to Me\" come awfully darn close. --David Cantwell\n\nReview\n\n...[D]espite their campy look, the band's music ... is a refreshing blast from country music's past. -- People\n\nBR5-49 has staked out a hip, retro, novelty niche as masterful imitators. The musicianship on Big Backyard Beat Show is inspired throughout. These guys really know their way around their respective instruments, and producers Jozef Nuyens and Mike Janas have done a wonderful job of capturing the boisterous spontaneity of BR5-49's live shows in the studio. -- Country Music Magazine\n\nNashville's favorite hep-cat retro [band's] creative musicianship oughta curl the toes of guitar strummers everywhere. -- Entertainment Weekly\n\n[The Tunes] tend toward the dark or humorous, though guitarist Gary Bennett's \"Storybook Endings (If You Stop Believin'\") has both a lyric and a meter that Roger Miller would've appreciated. -- USA Today\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000008USW\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000008USW.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:BR5-49\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio CD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
