A Gem That Flys Under The Radar...
A cool disc that you wish you'd hear in a smokey bar, but probably wont. Great hooks and melodies with a slightly punkish take on Rock and Roll. This cd is way cool enough for older rockers, but I'm afraid the only people who hear about it thru the grapevine are most likely younger hip kids. That's a shame because this disc is a keeper! Yes, Dylan type lyric structures run thru the whole disc, but with a smokey bar-room feel. Great sense of humor concerning drug references. I am now forced to explore these guys past cds cause this one is so damn tastey!

All we're gonna do is fight tonight...
I can find glowing reviews for ANY cd on The 'Zon, but not even a bad one written for Ike Reilly's newest. That's a shame, peoples, because you're not in on it. Don't blame me, I had no idea you were so uncool. This is a classic rock and roll album for the present. Some metion Dylan as a reference, but there's nothing folk about it. It uses bits of most American pop of the last 50 years and kicks it out in a shambling, drunken, druggie, classic punk rock song fest. It pretty much rocks. If you drink, smoke and like rock n' roll, you'll like this a lot. If you jog, meditate and eat vegetables, you'll still probably like it. Get in on it now, and I won't tell your friends about the lameness. Have a nice day.

Knocked out again by Ike Reilly
What does a guy have to do to get noticed? Ah, maybe it's better for us that we're a cult following. Let the Great Unwashed wallow in Nickelback while those with two ears and a brain can savor magic like this.

The perfect intersection of Dylan and The Hold Steady (sparkling lyrics and imagery and music played with spirit and reckless abandon), this astounding album is a lock for my Top 5 of 2007. Drop the coin, turn it up and don't look back!
