NRBQ – Brass Tacks (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Brass Tacks arrived a decade ago as proof that NRBQ's fourth decade of existence hadn't dulled their instinct for pure, unclassifiable pop joy. The lineup anchored by Scott Ligon had fully hit its stride, carrying forward the band's legendary anything-goes spirit while staking out its own identity separate from the Terry Adams-era classics.
Vinyl LP pressing. 10th Anniversary edition. "If you look it up in your dictionary, you'll find that "getting down to brass tacks" means to get down to some sort of serious business. But for NRBQ-in general, and specifically on this outstanding album from 2014-it means getting down to the business of making unique, memorable music while also having some serious fun." -John DeAngelis from his liner notes The record starts out with the slamming beat from drummer Conrad Choucroun, featured on the most fun song "Waitin' on My Sweetie Pie" from guitarist Scott Ligon. He also wrote one of the most touching songs, "It'll Be Alright." It is also the debut of the new bassist and songwriter, Casey McDonough. He wrote and sang two of the best and most popular songs in recent years. They are "Fightin' Back" and "Can't Wait to Kiss You." A hell of a debut! Brass Tacks features some of Terry Adams' most inventive works both musically and lyrically in the band's long history. For it's 10th anniversary-Brass Tacks returns with updated artwork including photos, new liner notes from John DeAngelis, and fresh remastering from Alan Stockwell, all fully approved by the band.
