This was one fine band. And no, they are nowhere near being from Canada. The name actually comes from the four original band members (Grady Cross, Cody Canada, Randy Ragsdale and original bassist Matt Weidermann). This band hails from Oklahoma, and they had a nice 15 year run as one of alt-country and southern rock’s better bands. Garage is the fifth of their seven albums, and it’s pretty much their best work. It’s also their most rocking album, featuring some terrific guitar work and songs that fall well outside of the usual fare for country music. It’s heavy yet tuneful, lyrical and lovely, and never snoozy. Cross Canadian Ragweed made some fine records during the first decade of the 2000’s before they split up in 2010, and none finer than 2005’s Garage, which was named because of their desire to capture the sound of a garage band.
It worked. This is a rock and roll record. It’s as rock as anything by Drive-By Truckers or Lynyrd Skynyrd. Count that as a victory. “Fightin’ For”, “Late Last Night”, and “This Time Around” are highlights…but the real keeper here is “Dimebag”, a tribute to Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell, who had been killed onstage a few months before. The album also features a Bo Diddley cover, and maybe the heaviest and coolest alt country track ever in “Lighthouse Keeper”, which features a Skynyrd like guitar finish. It’s absolutely glorious. CCR (now, where have I heard those letters together before?) had a wonderful career, and any of their albums are worth checking out. But Garage is the one you really want to have. Unsung alt-country heroes. At their ultimate rocking very best. You’ll be very happy with this one. [First added to this chart: 11/01/2017]

A lot of hard work happens in the background to keep BEA running, and it's especially difficult to do this when we can't pay our hosting fees :(
