Skeptical. That’s the only word to describe how I felt before I listened to this God’s Revolver CD. I’ve seen GR live plenty of times, and they’re a great, hard rockin’ good-time-havin’ live band, so I wasn’t sure if it would translate well to CD. The sigh of relief I breathed upon allowing this circular piece of plastic to spin in its little holder must have been heard in California. Not only does the music translate well, but I think it does a better job of showcasing the band’s talents and songwriting than any dive bar I’ve ever seen them in. That says a lot, because I absolutely love dive bars. And whiskey. And drinking whiskey in dive bars. And watching GR play in dive bars while I drink whiskey. Enough about me … buy the record and get yourself a fifth of Jack. You’ll make me proud.
