Austin, Texas' The Derailers are a band that play the classic Bakersfield Sound, that no-frills style of country music whose prime movers, Buck Owens, Merle Haggard and Tommy Collins, were based in and around Bakersfield, CA in the '60s, and for which Dwight Yoakam has been keeping the torch burning since the '80s. Heavy backbeat, terse guitar tastefully drenched in reverb, and straight-from-the-heart singing with more than a touch of Western drawl 'n' twang--that's the dish that The Derailers serve up with gusto.
The party starts with the Buck Owens-style swinger "Just One More Time" and doesn't stop until the hidden bonus cut "Raspberry Beret" (yes, the Prince song given a hearty honky-tonk treatment) fades. In between are "California Angel," where Buck's Buckaroos get down with the Beach Boys circa 1964, including a killer surf-style guitar solo, and the heartfelt weeper "Dull Edge of the Blade." With REVERB DELUXE The Derailers take the Bakersfield sound and sharpen it with the right blend of reverence, wit, and rock & roll flair.
Industry Reviews
...in the category of museum-quality reproductions, country music doesn't get any better...this record covers lots more stylistic ground within its boundaries that the Derailers' debut...
