Firewood Reviews the World

Wow - by Jeremy Anderson December 20, 2006

I saw this band last weekend after taking friends to Dubuque to go skiing. Instead of paying 4 dollars for a cover charge, I think the band should have paid me to sit through it.

What the.... ? - by Andres from Peoria December 20, 2006

Honestly, I can't believe these guys have a web page. Actually, they should do this just for fun, but in their garage, alone !!! Who told these guys that the more guitars, the best they would sound??? Well.... I am giving 5 shots, but not even 10 would make me like em...

sucker punched - by the ol' man May 9, 2005

I was just starting to feel the booze and I got into listening to some cd's when I came across Ben Eaton's sucker punched, this is definately one you want when your alone and drunk. play #6 I think is fingerlickenfeeminist or fingerlikkenfeelafem or maybe its just fingerlickin.

Pain - by Sherpa September 26, 2004

It is the knife, Quazar; the knife that carves the bowl; the bowl that holds your joy.

The Poet Game by Greg Brown ca.1993 - by Quazar September 17, 2004

This is a beautiful album. Spectacular and profound, lyricly and musically, it is a sublime piece of time like a perfect brush stroke in an ancient Japenese, or any other 'ese' for that matter, painting or trapeze. Contagious and addictive, local, olde, and true, but still geographically close to the heart, and rockin' from the start, this thing cuts to the core and then some. The drummer, Steve Hayes, is so tight, so on, so grooving and moovin' that it seems my ear is about a foot away from his drumset, yet I feel no pain. It's loud, but between every beat there is an eternal gap, and spaciousness prevails. My eardrums rejoice; the silence is soothing. Bo Ramsey's guitar is ubiquitous, languid and sweet. Not to mention slow. It's no wonder Lucinda Williams loves this guy, he's like a digusted cat growling the night into eternal oblivion for want of old tuna. Bo is forever the master of the mud. He's always goin' under somewhere down by Slidell, and pokin' his head up around Davenport. Slide on brother. This record is like the knife that shaves the fat from the heart. Really, it's too much. I've got to turn it off. I think I'm gonna vomit soon.

The review right below this one - by Gun Dog December 10, 2003

It coulda been longer, but the aviation allusion was nice.

Jim Kweskin - by The mayor November 8, 2003

The Sheik Of Araby / Minglewood, released in 1967, it is shocking that anyone ever heard of Dylan with the shadow this guy casts. The first cut on side one "If you're a viper" sets the tone for the album. At once better than Zepplin, and best with a Zepplin...if ya get my dirgible drift.

Kings of Leon - by mike j August 24, 2003

a fucking must have of 2003. just remember, before you pop this cd into your car radio. roll down your windows, and up your sleves. take the long way home past your local high school parking lot.
