Album Notes The BoDeans: Kurt Neumann, Sam Llanas, Bob Griffin. Additional personnel: Michael Ramos (accordion, Hammond b-3 organ); Kevin Leahy (vibraphone, drums); Nick Kitsos (drums). Recording information: The Slamshack, Buda, Texas. Best known for their smash "Closer to Free" (which doubled as the theme song for the TV drama PARTY OF FIVE), the BoDeans returned from an eight-year hiatus on 2004's RESOLUTION. With founding co-writers Sam Llanas and Kurt Neumann at the helm (along with original bassist Bob Griffin), these stalwart roots-rockers emerge from their lengthy absence with 14 songs synonymous with the kind of character-driven fare penned by Springsteen, Mellencamp, and Seger. The dream-pop of "Slipping Into You" paints an picture of romance in New Orleans, heart-break is given a Texas Tornados-like treatment with accordion on "Wild World," and a fusion of strings and gnarly guitars highlight "Marianne." The combination of Llanas and Neumann's distinct vocals make for a delightful sweet-and-sour blend, be it on the anthemic opener "If It Makes U" or the sing-along summer ode "Said 'Hello'."
