Synopsis

Product Description
When it comes to country music in Dallas, Boys Named Sue® are what you would call a big deal. As the self-proclaimed Best Band Ever, the Sues have yet to play for a crowd that they could not win over. While playing the music that folks like to hear, or the Hits; as they like to call them, these beer swilling, Tuaca shooting ruffians have been known to melt a face or two in the crowd. Originating from the EDT (East Dallas, Texas that is), Boys Named Sue fuse the best of old country with contemporary styles (rock, hip hop, shock jock) and an infectious stage presence that just makes you want to get up and dance. Just don't forget to dip yer partner when you're done. Boys Named Sue is comprised of four of Big D's best... or at least best looking musicians. Wrought from such great bands as the O s, Slick 57, Rose County Fair, Fabulous Harmonaires, Phantom Rockers, Kim Lenz and the Jaguars, JD Whittenburg & Trainwreck and Mark David Manders, these boys have become a musical force unto itself. They can be heard playing in honky-tonks across the country and have shared the stage with many influential country artists such as the Wreckers, Old 97s, Junior Brown, Billy Joe Shaver, David Allen Coe, Shooter Jennings, Moot Davis, Pete Anderson, Shaun Sahm, Shandon Sahm, Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez as well as some not-so-country folks such as Grammy-Award winning polka band Brave Combo, international touring punk band UK Subs, rockabilly Stray Cat legend Lee Rocker and the bearded rockers ZZ Top. Yielding the Fist of Country, Sue-Ah leads the band with vocals that remind the listener of ol' Hank Sr himself and guitar solos that'll make yer head spin. Snakebite Sue keeps the beat fresh (yo!) and sings honky-tonk harmony that would make Buck Owens and Don Rich proud. Bobby Sue has been called the best fiddler North of the Trinity and South of the Red River. We don't know if that s true or not, but he certainly smiles a lot. Finally, there s Dub Sue who is best described in Haiku format: Dub Sue Plays the bass - A.K.A. the dub boss - A lady killer The Hits Vol. Sue! features all original material and is getting radio play and recognition worldwide. The Sue's Hits have won them the Dallas Observers Best Country Band award three years in a row (and counting) and are the Disputed Heavyweight Country Music Champions of the World! You may ask how such greatness can come from one band but that s easy... HITS HAPPEN!!!
 

CD Reviews

Boys Named Sue - Pure Gold (again)
Matthew H. Stockton | 09/16/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'll admit I am a fan of this Dallas area band. Seeing them live is great fun; their shows are filled with original music and a wide variety of covers (not just from the world of country - think "The Pixies"). However, like their last CD, their album is all original and is top notch. There are some great drinking and partying songs, a tremendous ballad "Pine Mills, TX". The final track is a little more blues oriented song called "Dollar at a Time" - it really grows on you.



This is well worth the price, and best of all this is a hell of a nice group of guys."
