Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 10/19/95, p.150
3.5 Stars - Good - "...Without sacrificing their identity as a proud blue-collar rock & roll band, the Bottle Rockets obliterate the redneck stereotype that has long been attached to Southern-style rock..."
Entertainment Weekly - 1/27/95, pp.46-49
"...the Missouri band's no-frills menu of truck stop-jukebox country, electrified twangs, and waltz-time ballads is as unpretentious as a box of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios with milk..." -
Rating: AQ - 7/96, p.151
4 Stars - Excellent - "...bristles with rootsy verve R.E.M. could make fashionable....welds twangy and beery with social realism....exceptional rock is born, complete with `truck noise that we found inspirational'."
Option - 7-8/95, p.94
"...showcases a blue-collar lyrical sensibility and amiably gruff vocals over surprisingly sprightly and inventive guitar rock..."
