Thankfully the advertisement for downloaded ringtones in the disc's booklet is the only contemporary influence creeping into this stripped-down set of rootsy rockers and ballads. Fogerty's voice sounds great throughout; passionate, more committed and comfortable with these songs than he has seemed in years. His material has often leaned towards politics, especially as it concerns the working class, but seldom as directly as on the gutsy choogle of \"Long Dark Night\" and the rollicking \"I Cant Take it No More.\" He seems like a cranky dad on \"It Ain't Right,\" railing about spoiled pop tarts in the spotlight, and \"Summer of Love\"'s look back at the titular time in the late '60s falls on the schlock side. But Fogerty charges into \"Longshot\" like the angry young man of \"Fortunate Son,\" singing \"I ain't got no 'ristocrats a-hangin' in my tree\" with an assurance and intensity that reaches through the speakers and grabs the listener. Just like in the old days. --Hal Horowitz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Fogerty - Revival - CD, ISBN13: B000ULQVCK ISBN10: B000ULQVCK Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108557279395,"sku":"B10.24.1 X_06-16-25_H0000L2P","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/71dio0SjSfL.jpg?v=1754553668"},{"product_id":"last-winter-in-the-copper-country","title":"Last Winter in the Copper Country","description":"\u003cp\u003e, ISBN13: B0009MZEH8 ISBN10: B0009MZEH8 Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108752937123,"sku":"B10.30.12 F_03-24-25_UBD_H00009PP","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/5135uV3wMcL.jpg?v=1754557505"},{"product_id":"los-lonely-boys-texican-style-live-from-austin","title":"Los Lonely Boys - Texican Style (Live from Austin)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAustin-based band Los Lonely Boys are blazing on Texican Style, a 96-minute concert recorded before a huge, wildly enthusiastic audience in the Texas state capitol in March, 2004. And the brothers Garza do it with what remains rock \u0026amp; roll's most basic and reliable format: the rock guitar trio. True, there's nothing earth-shatteringly original going on here; guitarist Henry, like many others from Texas and everywhere else, is channeling Jimi Hendrix via Stevie Ray Vaughan, with a little Carlos Santana on the side (Jojo is the outstanding bassist, while Ringo--his real name, by the way--plays drums, of course). But Los Lonely Boys bring something else to the party: good singing (all three are capable lead and harmony vocalists), and enough other influences, from Tex-Mex to the Beatles, to forge a distinctive, melodically appealing sound. Their songs, notwithstanding the obvious influences, offer enough variety to keep things interesting, from the epic (nearly 15 minutes) \"Onda\" to the swinging little diversion \"Supper Time,\" along with plenty of straight blues (like \"Man to Beat,\" with its stone Stevie Ray minor groove) and some Los Lobos-style rock. Still in their twenties, Los Lonely Boys' future is bright--and their present ain't bad, either. --Sam Graham\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLos Lonely Boys Texic, ISBN13: B0002SPPYQ ISBN10: B0002SPPYQ Material Type: dvd\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108814016675,"sku":"FA_06-16-2025_MGM_20000BF0","price":15.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/81w3zm7kl_L.jpg?v=1754559188"},{"product_id":"a-man-under-the-influence","title":"A Man Under the Influence","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmazon.com\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRipe with the enigmas of loss, love, and connections across great distances, Alejandro Escovedo's sixth solo album realizes the promise of his remarkable gifts as singer, songwriter, and arranger. On spiraling tiers of pedal steel, cellos, violins, and electric and acoustic guitars, his chamber-rock vision comes to full fruition. He's never made freer garage pop than \"Castanets,\" never stirred a more sweeping lyricism than in \"Don't Need You,\" and never laid bare more soul than in the heartbreaking \"Follow You Down\" (a ballad Escovedo often dedicates to Townes Van Zandt). Even more amazing are the pairing of \"Wave\" and \"Rosalie,\" subtle dramas of the Mexican-American passage through separation and faith, and the swirling, aching \"About This Love,\" which concludes \"It's all about the way\/We break, to love again.\" Escovedo has always sought a poetic fusing of sound and image; with A Man Under the Influence, that search is complete. --Roy Kasten\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIntimate and personal, a perfect blend of orchestral sweep and glam rock swagger.

With this album, Escovedo's own pilgrimage out of the shadows continues with power and elegance. --David Fricke, Rolling Stone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlejandro Escovedo takes a song and makes it absolutely his own, and he swings easily from rocking numbers to slow songs played with elegant sadness. His versatility in things musical is a joy to hear and see. He's one of the best I know about, one of those songwriters whose words I never tire of. Wherever I go, people talk about him with awe. Even if he takes me someplace beyond lonely for a while, that s okay, because I know, like Alejandro, that hearts like ours were made to be broke. --Larry Brown, Men's Journal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe depth and breadth, the elegance and power of Escovedo s songwriting is realized like never before.

He's been a singer-songwriter, a new waver, an AOR dinosaur, a country rocker, and an adult-contemporary powerhouse. Throughout, his songwriting has been admirable. The production here is sometimes tricky, a tad bombastic, a bit too mainstream and yearning for success. (Ah, the '80s!) It is also an album divided. Nick Lowe, Paul Carrack, and ex-Rumour guitarist Martin Belmont join the backing band for the Lowe-produced second half and it's here that the ensemble cooks. But it's really about the songs, and there's no denying songs as clever as \"She Loves the Jerk,\" \"Death by Misadventure,\" or \"You May Already Be a Winner,\" which all feature Hiatt's humor hidden under a serious degree of healthy cynicism. --Rob O'Connor\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRiding With The King by John Hiatt, ISBN13: B000000OXN ISBN10: B000000OXN Material Type: audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46109509058723,"sku":"B10.28.2 F_03-27-25_UBD_H00009YS","price":16.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/610CVykWMJS.jpg?v=1754572575"}],"url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/collections\/roots-rock.oembed","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
