Product Details

Brian Henneman and the Bottle Rockets have been quietly one of America's most honest rock and roll bands since emerging from Festus, Missouri in the early '90s, carrying the torch of working-class Midwestern grit that never went out of style so much as it got ignored by radio. Lean Forward arrived at a moment when that story needed telling more than ever, and this band had the chops and the credibility to tell it straight.

Lean Forward continues the Rockets' creative resurgence ignited by 2006's Zoysia. Reunited with producer Eric "Roscoe" Ambel, the Bottle Rockets do what no other band does better--look into the hearts and minds and faces of the dying small towns in America and crafts populist anthems with the sympathetic eye of Woody Guthrie and sonic stomp of Crazy Horse. They are songs that demand the windows be rolled down and the volume turned up. And with the hooks, you'll wonder how they make such problems sound so good!
