I have to totally agree w/ Bill here. Side One, those first 5 or 6 songs on their new one, Lean Forward, are some of the best roots rock one has heard in years - that SOLID.
Generally, I'm a casual enjoyer of roots-rock, much of it is generic but the Bottlerockets are the overlooked creme-de-la-creme of the genre. With no Miles Of Music to bring this stuff to light, too many good bands are now overlooked in the roots-rock/Americana genres.....

I think insanely great roots rock falls under the category of insanely great
pop...saw the Bottle Rockets do two festival shows last night (no repeated
songs between shows!) and they were phenomenal. Much like we tend to shake
our heads when great powerpoppers get so little attention, it's a shame that
these guys aren't more well known.

Made me think of a few more (past and present) who are/were in the same
boat. Some even had a hit or two.
