Additional Live at Robert's EP Information

Shine up your boots and get that hair slicked back because Live from Robert's Western Wear is the next best thing to a trip to the honky tonks of lower Broadway. BR5-49 was the prime mover behind the revitalization of Nashville's live country music scene, and this album documents the joyous mess that is their live show, complete with ambient yee-has and the band glad-handing the crowd for tips. Lest numbers like "Me 'n' Opie" have you thinking that the band is all about kitsch, check out their cover of the Louvins' bloodthirsty ballad "Knoxville Girl." Well, actually, it's a traditional number, but the Louvin Brothers made it famous, and the band does a dandy, Louvin-like job with the song's eerie soaring harmonies. Live at Robert's is a rip-roaring three-day bender of an album: sometimes sloppy, never especially original, but always a heck of a lot of fun. --Mary Park

What Customers Say About Live at Robert's EP:

Great CD. Me And Opie By The Duck Pond hear it once and you'll Agree. Betty Betty Also A great tune. Hell There all great tunes.
They got all of the humor ("Me n' Opie Down by the Duck Pond," "Bettie Bettie") and catchy sounds ("Hillbilly Thang") that keep most punk bands going. Like most people that are actually FROM Nashville, I hate country music, but these guys aren't your typical country band. BR5-49 is the punk rock of country bands. Why can't all country be like this. I can't wait to get their self-titled studio album.
BUT, I can't stop listening to it. I'm not a country fan. I bought this CD to use portions of the song "Bettie-Bettie" for my desktop Betty Page theme. This is a light, fun, swing beat album. I can't say that I'm a country music fan now, but I think I'm going to try some more BR5-49 anyway.
The highlights are their bantering between songs like a true bar band. The CD has few standouts. A couple of times listening to it is enough. Little swing or twang. It's kinda lukewarm. Sold my copy and don't miss it. I'm satisfied with their first release.
We have been to Robert's in Nashville and it is a great place and this CD really gives the true atmosphere of Robert's This is the first of BR5-49's music that I have purchased and will purchase much more. This is a sound I LOVE.
