All Nighter 8:41 Release Notes: -------- Longtime fans of Cross Canadian Ragweed will be enthusiastic: The bandÆs mastermind Cody Canada still holds the reins of his follow-up band The Departed and comes back with an eleven-song album. HippieLovePunk marks a return to a compact four-piece format and change in philosophy û both clearly audible on the bandÆs brand new, third album. However, this ôback to the futureö concept is not a simple revival of what used to bring him high charts positions, millions of sales and coast to coast success. Instead itÆs a scorcher of a reboot for The Departed, chock full of the ingredients that made red dirt music an integral part of the American rootsÆnÆroll catalog. Cody Canada is one of the guiding lights of this genre from the American southwest that has gained such widespread international recognition in the last decade. And his new album HippieLovePunk is certainly another milestone of the genre and proof of its ongoing vitality and relevance. Like no other band Cross Canadian Ragweed exemplified the sound and attitude of the red dirt scene from Oklahoma to Texas. Their (red) dirty mix of country, Southern rock, singer-songwriter, heartland rock, boogie and guitar rock appeared on ten albums between 1998 and 2009 that became more and more successful - top ten positions in the Billboard charts included and over one million sold copies. They consistently sold out shows from San Francisco to NYC, New Orleans to Chicago and achieved near-legendary status on the Stillwater, OK. and Austin, TX. scenes. Up until bandleader Cody Canada pulled the plug on the band in 2010 û everything had just become too big and too much to handle. It didnÆt take long before he rose from the ashes, however, with The Departed. Their 2011 debut on Blue Rose Records This Is Indian Land was a colossal tribute to the music of their icons from Oklahoma before the follow-up Adventus was a pretty drastic move away from red dirt, Texas rock, roots and Americana. This was rock hard electric rockÆnÆroll, a kind of Southern hard rock, played brilliantly but perhaps at times lacking in soul? Not all the old Ragweed fans were able to agree on this album. Moreover, Cody Canada was not the bandÆs sole focal point anymore. In Seth James, a strong stage and musical presence, he accepted an equal partner, guitar wiz, singer & songwriter in his band. Behind them, drummer Chris Doege and bassist Jeremy Plato provided a tight rhythmic bed while Steve Littleton provided organ, Fender Rhodes, clavinet and piano. Most of the songs on Adventus were composed by Cody Canada, Seth James or the both of them. In the fall of 2013 Seth James departed The Departed amicably and Cody Canada took the reins once again as sole singer, songwriter and lead guitarist. But itÆs mostly the rootsier, warmer musical sound of HippieLovePunk that lets critics and fans rejoice. The opener äCominÆ To Meô is a sign of things to come and a yardstick û first-class Southern boogie with a rockÆnÆroll beat. It is followed by the first single release ôInbetweenerö, a juicy riff-rocker. ôEasyö is a strong Texas country rock ballad û with emphasis on ôrockö: A driving acoustic guitar, organ swells, Jeremy PlatoÆs well-known excellent harmony vocals, a Canada solo on baritone guitar and some e-piano fills. Power rocker ôRevolutionö with its hard hitting garage beat and extremely hooky riff steps on the gas again. æBack CloserÆ is a compact team effort in Memphis soul rock while æGot ItÆ with its simmering guitars, pulsing rhythm and organ swells builds great tension that finally dissipates in an unresolved jam finish. And how to describe ôGreat Big Nothinö? Red dirt punk rock, Southern hard rock, garage speed rock? And itÆs followed by the greatest possible contrast of a song: ôMakerö, a singer-songwriter midtempo masterpiece with exquisite acoustic fingerpicking, co-written by Kevin Welch. æStayÆ combines Southern R&B in classic Memphis-to-Macon sound with twin guitars, rolling boogie piano, and an Allman Brothers vibe. æBoss Of MeÆ is an impressive driving rocker while album closer ôAll Nighterö is a folk-flavored country waltz, Luckenbach-style with accordion, fiddle and friends from the entire Braun family, Willy & Cody of Reckless Kelly, Micky & Gary of the Motorcars and their father Muzzie Braun. And then thereÆs a bonus track surprise, a fine acoustic folk number. This mix of the new Departed is a great success! This NFO File was rendered by NFOmation.net
