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.....

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. http://drbristol.wordpress.com/2010/06/18/t-g-i-f-ten-roots-rockers/ Made me think of a few more (past and present) who are/were in the same boat. Some even had a hit or two.
