"Yes, the other reviewers are right. Throw Rag is the best band in America to see live. No other band has more energy, charisma, or better rapport with the crowd. But, just because seeing them live in action is preferable to listening to their CD's doesn't mean you shouldn't own them. Buy both Tee-Tot and Desert Shores, they are both worth the price of admission. Now, about this CD. About half of these tracks are still in their live show, and the reason is because they ROCK! Lady Boo, Beast in Me, Race with the Devil, Auntie Bert, Days That End in Y, and Table 4 3 are all rockin' country/psychobilly/punk songs that will get your toes tapping and have you singin' along in no time! The instramental songs are catchy and show off Dino's excellent guitar work. All in all a great CD that won't leave the CD player any time soon!..."
Better live, but still a GREAT CD.

"I was introduced to Throw Rag in a small smokey club in Las Vegas. A friend told us that we had to see these guys, "they were amazing." He was right. Great music and a hell of a stage presence. I was happy to find out that they play live here in San Diego quite often. The second time I caught them I picked up this CD. A little slower then thier live show, but not a bad representation of their musical style. A little psycobilly, a little punk, a lot of pure rock and roll. It serves as a nice reminder of their next show. On a side note, the guys in the band always hang around after the shows and are hands down some of the nicest people I have ever met. Rather a anomaly in this day in age."
Go see them live!

"everyone is correct that throw rag's live show is better than the album, but people c'mon this album is great on its own. they are great muscicians and it definitely shows here. the album has less distortion than the live show, but it has the same amount of BOO YA! lots of stomp-a-long tracks and bluesy riffs that are NOT boring. the music is swampy, country and punky. and yes, they are the nicest bunch of people."
