Agents Of Good Roots was an American band that built a good following playing the college circuit in the mid nineties. After a pair of self released albums, they were signed by RCA and released their major label debut, One By One, in 1998. They scored a pair of decent hits with “Come On” and “Smiling Up The Frown” before ending up on tour with the Dave Matthews Band, getting signed by Matthews label, and releasing the absolutely lifeless follow up album, Needle And Thread in 2000. But One By One is actually one heck of an album. Their energy is awesome, the songs are mostly very good, and even though they had a sax player, they never overused him. In 1998, this was an album worth hearing by a band worth watching. They could be heavy, artsy, and they had a groove that obviously attracted Matthews to them.
The two minor hits are fine, but there’s more to this band than those songs. “Miss America” is a real rocker that even namedrops The Black Crowes. “Time Bomb”, “Where’d You Get That Vibe?” and especially “Two Bucks In Cash” are great, as is the mellower and soulful “Hoping, Waiting, Longing”. These guys seemed to be on the edge of a major breakthrough…instead, the next album sank like a rock and they were never heard from again. Too bad. One By One isn’t the greatest album in the world, but it showed a world of promise, and it still sounds pretty great today. You might have to look for it these days, but because of the interwebs, it won’t take you long to find it. A lot of great bands came from the nineties…but don’t forget the almost greats like Agents Of Good Roots. [First added to this chart: 04/13/2012]

Including "The Masterplan" is a good idea.
