Sunday Brunch Bonus- Review of Rolling Stones tribute album.

Do you remember Dave Cowan? He was the first Afternoon drive time DJ when the Moose arrived onto the Bozeman scene 20 years ago. Over time, he became the GM of our little family of stations and then moved onto bigger places a few years ago. ( He did many things here- the bio/resume is long and we miss him- he was a founding father predominantly of the Moose-and several of our other stations- perhaps a story for another day)

He sent me a review he wrote of the latest Rolling Stones Tribute Album called "Paint it Black- An Alt Country Tribute to the Rolling Stones." In the note he added that it was good Sunday Brunch fare. When it comes to music- he is a man I trust- completely. After listening to the tracks straight through- I can tell you that I'm so very happy to have the album, and could hardly wait to share his review with you. The review is brilliant, layered and filled with a depth of knowledge that only an unassuming veteran radio guy would have in his temporal lobe just waiting to be shared with the world. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you join me this Sunday from 9-noon during the Sunday Brunch when I will play tracks from the album. It is really good. Really.

Here is Dave's review as it was posted on www.covermesongs.com

He gives it 4.5 stars out of 5.

Given the broad sonic reach of the “alt-country” genre, one might expect that Paint It Black: An Alt Country Tribute to the Rolling Stones to be a fully plugged in, loud, proud and boisterous salute capturing all the sweat, swagger and energy of the group. But that would require leaning on the Mick Jagger side of the sound. Instead, producer Jim Sampas has chosen to throttle-down, and to lead with Keith (with the Grievous Angel as guardian). It results in an exceptionally cohesive and even-keeled album – a rarity among tribute compilations. That should come as no surprise, though, since we know Sampas for his work on other quality salutes: last year’s Subterranean Homesick Blues: A Tribute to Bob Dylan’s ‘Bringing It All Back Home’, Badlands: A Tribute To Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Nebraska’, and This Bird Has Flown: A Tribute To The Beatles ‘Rubber Soul’.
