Reviews:
| There
is no thesaurus, thrift-store factory jacket, or ultra-cool hipster
aesthetic required, as any astute imbiber of barfly culture knows
exactly what a song
titled "Hard Drinkin' Daddy" and its demonic sister, "Watch
It Burn," should sound like. - James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
Coming
down the same road as previous alt. country bands like The Drive-By Truckers
and Old 97’s, Dirt Road Logic are intent on keep the old-school barroom
rock alive on pleasing, rousing tunes such as Hard Drinkin’ Daddy that
is part rock and part rockabilly while Don’t You Wanna Go is pure Americana
roots rock. - Jason MacNeil, PopMatters.com
Last
week I met a personality-plus waitress who instantly charmed the
socks off me. The same thing happened listening to "Great Lake
Heart Ache,'' the first CD from Dirt Road Logic, an Ann Arbor-area
roots foursome that makes honest, freewheeling American rock music,
the kind I was convinced got left in the dust years ago. - Roger
Lelievre, Ann Arbor News
Dirt Road Logic has managed to craft an
album that seems to fit the members’ personalities quite well.
The boys haven’t given up the hard-luck tale; they’re just
telling it with a smirk and a jukebox cranking away in the background
instead of flooding the beer with tears. - Cale Sauter,
Lansing City Pulse
At
best, "Great Lake Heart Ache" is flawed in the way the classic
Replacements and the current Drive By Truckers records are. The playing
isn't perfect and the vocals are rough, it is a sloppy record done
well. There is no other way to pull of this kind of dirty-not-quite-garage-rock-sound.
- Spirit of the Outlaws (.com)
This is some good old straight-ahead, no
B.S. rock 'n' roll. The vocals are a perfect fit, and the words don't
get lost; nothing is overpowered. It's like listening to "instant" classic
rock. - Editorial staff, Music REVUE
But mostly, it's honest rock 'n' roll - tunes in the
vein of classic Rolling Stones and The Drive-by Truckers. - Anne
Erickson, Lansing State Journal
...sometimes-rollicking,
sometimes-touching... - Justin
Hinkley, Battle Creek Enquirer
Raw, honest heartland country-rock. A true
amalgam of American musical styles that never strays far from the tried-and-true
path of heartache, heartbreak, and Saturday night passions. - Kevin
Reynolds, Promoter and Senior AE Clear Channel Radio Grand Rapids,
MI
An
eclectic mix of tracks from a multi-talented band, spanning genres, and giving
a first glance at one
of Michigan's finest.
- Amanda Brewington,
DJ WDBM 88.9 fm
