CD ReviewsThe boys do it again. Alexander Edwards | Aurora IL | 09/04/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have been a huge Fastball fan since I was dumbstruck in an Hardware store aisle after hearing "The Way" coming from the cheesy speaker in the cieling. I ran out and bought "All the Pain" and have been hooked ever since. I thought that "Harsh Light of Day" was incredible as well. The boys have done it again with "Keep Your Wig On". The album is maybe a little more "simple" than "Harsh Light" but it delivers track after track. It was interesting to see Miles and Tony writing more together. As usual, the songs capture the catchy classic chord changes and harmonies. The lyrical content proves that like all of us, Fastball doesn't have all of life figured out. My main Fastball hero is Tony and I was a little sorry to see that he didn't play bass as much on this record. But he does tackle more guitar, keys and organ. Do yourself a favor and enjoy life by picking up "Wig". I thank Tony, Miles and Joey for another fine record." ANOTHER BAND LIKE THIS IS HARD TO FIND! Mark Esposito | Houston, Texas | 05/14/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "Fastball returns with a great collection of songs that proves this band can be mentioned in the same breath with Squeeze, Badfinger and dare I say...Beat...les.Wake up pop/rock music lovers and listen to the wonderful harmonies and song writing of three guys from Austin, Texas!My only peevs - I believe this CD should have been named "Perfect World" and the cover art should have been that atom bomb cover I saw on a fan web site. That rocked! Other then that...it can't get much better then this!Long live Fastball! Keep the music coming!" Fastball is back! T-Bone | Sugar Land, TX United States | 06/09/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I remember walking into a Best Buy way back in 1998 and hearing "The Way" by Fastball. After the song had finished, I turned to my dad and said, "That was a really good song." We then proceeded to ask an employee who the song was by. After we were told Fastball, we proceeded to purchase the record. This is how I came to experience my favorite band. The music Fastball makes (Tony, Miles, and Joey) can be dubbed classic rock with a modern mix. In these wonderful tunes from they're new album, Keep Your Wig On, I hear beautiful songs that harken back to the days of The Beatles and Badfinger. Sharing lead vocal duties on songs and harmonizing with each other throughout, Fastball is perhaps the most underrated rock band of all time. If you purchase Keep Your Wig On, the groups incredible follow up to 2000's The Harsh Light Of Day, you will rediscover what it takes to make an incredible album. I eagerly anticipate every release from this band. They continue to make every dull day bright."
