| | Rumbleseat Is Dead CD Rumbleseat Discography of CDs
No mere side project for Hot Water Music's Chuck Ragan and Chris Wollard, Rumbleseat is a radical departure from the distorted roar of the pair's primary outfit. Acoustic in presentation, this 14-song self-titled entry is sure to take many HWM fans where they've never been before. Opener "California Burritos" is a striking piece of unplugged punk -- it's raw, emotive, and instantly gratifying. Equally good is the raggle-taggle tact of "Cursing Concrete," which puts a Gaelic slant on the band's presentation. Stripped down but as anthemic as anything on Caution, the song finds Ragan, Wollard, and third member/bassist Samantha Jones -- formerly of the Crustaceans -- harmonizing in tandem with exceptional results. Material like the hauntingly melodic "Restless" and the whiskey-soaked, countrified back-porch approach of "Picker" leaves less of an impression (but is solid just the same), making the Dylan-esque harmonica-laden "Trestles" the standout on this brave and impressive debut. ~ John D. Luerssen

One of the things that's so appealing about Tim Barry is the rough honesty of his words. Whether it's via the hardcore aggression of his main act Avail or now through his folk-inspired solo fair, Barry makes no apologies for himself and the way he lives his life "riding fast and living slow." Rivanna Junction, his first official full-length, is a testament to Barry and his working-class existence, directly influenced by his home in Richmond and time spent on ...

$9.95
"Set adrift in the depths of the drink in the hands of the gods we curse," Chuck Ragan is searching, for salvation perhaps, for answers maybe, but mostly "drifting with clutching arms in a world ever dark, wondering what betook us." On the semi-acoustic Feast or Famine, Ragan's solo studio debut, the singer/guitarist sails far from the shores of his former band, Hot Water Music, offering up a dozen intensely introspective numbers, awash in compelling imagery and heartfelt emotion. Within, he bares his feelings, ...

Rumbleseat Is Dead album
$9.69
The air of gravity surrounding hardscrabble former street musician Mike Younger lightens up significantly on Every Stone You Throw, his sophomore effort, but not so much that fans of his plaintive Rodney Crowell-produced debut, Somethin' in the Air, will want to switch him off in favor of grittier fare. There's still plenty of sorrow and wayfarer's blues to go around here -- check "Killlin' Time," with its lonely plea for the simple pleasure of company or "Something to Believe," on which the singer/songwriter works out that sustenance is a side effect of faith -- but this time Younger seems bent on billowing his past experiences as a drifter toward Friday-night tavern lights, not just the headspace of the down and out. You get the swamp-rockin' Stevie Ray Vaughan- and Creedence-inflected "Devil's on the Rise," for instance, to drum up visions of booze-fueled Crescent City debauchery, and you get the roadhouse rocker that is "Soulsearchin" to make you wish for a last call that never comes. Likewise, the winking spirits of Bo Diddley and John Lee Hooker shine through "Baby What Can I Say." But a couple of friendly pop-leaners early on -- "Dandelion" and "Make You Mine" -- come dangerously close to sounding like a dirtied-up version of the Wallflowers, and Younger, who has the cheese-grater-scraped voice of a John Mellencamp or Jakob Dylan and the stalwart soul of Steve Forbert, ought to steer clear of the fluffy stuff. As much as he deserves a high-five for fighting off poverty and following his dreams, literate-minded listeners will always prefer him down low. ~ Tammy La Gorce
BIO:Mike Younger is that rarest of artists - one so fervently driven to express himself through his music that he has navigated many obstacles, including homelessness and the carnivorous major label recording industry, out of an instinctive pursuit of his musical goals. Mike is a legitimate survivor, a gifted singer-songwriter who doesn't just drone vacantly about hardships and trials, but who has actually lived through them... and whose strength and resilience spring from his passion for his art. "I can't even imagine having lived my life any other way. I make music for one very simple reason - it's what I was born to do!" With the completion of his new album, Every Stone You Throw, Mike has chronicled his intrepid odyssey, taking listeners on a tour of his styles and stories and offering a very intimate look into the frenzied world of an artist who ...
