Rodney Parker & 50 Peso Reward‘s album from a couple of years ago, The Lonesome Dirge, went criminally under-discussed from me on this site. I’m now trying to make up for that offense by really making sure that as many people as possible get all up in the grill of their latest release, The Apology, Part One. This EP is just plain ol’ kick-ass country rock. Too many times, “country-rock” means cheesy, 1980′s rehashing while various country-related lyrical themes are introduced. Not here. The second part of The Apology will be making it’s way soon enough, and an acoustic record of some sort will be making its way into the marketplace, as well.
Tell you what, give a listen to the track below, then go on over to my review of the album on The Dallas Observer’s website. You’ll be crazy glad that you did.
