Description
Latest album (their sixth in 11 years) by the quartet from Dallas, Texas, who are one of the most popular groups in the alternative country movement's rock 'n' roll wing. Lead guitarist Ken Bethea says of the album, "After tinkering with our limits on the previous five releases, I think we've settled in with what we do best on DRAG IT UP - solid writing and performances, with enough bells and whistles to make things interesting. It reminds me of our earlier recordings, we mix bluegrass, surf, country, rock, folk and some good old-fashioned psychedelia. We recorded it on 8 tracks, which pretty much means there was very little studio trickery. What you'll hear, or maybe I should say, what you won't hear is second-guessing, sleight of hand or revisionist thinking. We started the recording on a frozen February day in Woodstock, N.Y. at Dreamland Studios, a 19th century country church, full of stained glass and ghosts. We finished up in sunny San Diego at producer Mark Neill's vintage studio, four of us stomping, screaming and picking guitars into one microphone. We sang about satellites, stars, moonlight, cavities, death, cheating, Texas, friendship, parenthood, God and storms."
