Biography

Whether you think The Gourds non-sequitur loving n'ere-do-wells or post-modern lyrical geniuses, their mandala-like musical vignettes and gulps of down-home authenticity can not be denied. Musical lifers and road dogs to the end, Kevin 'Shinyribs' Russell, Jimmy Smith, Max Johnston, Keith Langford and Claude Bernard remain at once roots music's envelope pushers and its torch ...

5.0 out of 5 stars like a mouth full of beans, jalapenos, beer, and olives 30 Aug 2001
By loce_the_wizard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I've been a fan of the Gourds for since at least 1998 and they keep turning out amazing recordings. The addition of Max Johnson to the line-up really fills out there sound, which, in ways, defies being neatly slotted in one genre.

Yes, they are bluegrass and country and Texas rock and Americana but they have so much heart and soul. Try playing this CD loud when you are cooking up something interesting in your kitchen, something that involves homegrown peppers and herbs.

The CD is a complex array of musical flavors, from the foot-stompin' El Paso to the countrified Meat from the Bone to the hilarious advice in Pickles to the somewhat grunge High Highs Low Lows, these guys offer a great soundtrack. The band gets tighter and tighter, yet the music, pardoxically, comes across as loose as ever.

By the time you finish hearing this CD, you will feel like you have a mouth full of beans, jalapenos, beer, and olives. You may not be able to quite label the taste---it's an alchemical thing, anyway---but you can bet it is unique.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet 27 Oct 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I always thought that Stadium Bitzer would be tough to top, but The Gourds did it with this gem. Part of the reason for this is the addition of Max Johnson whose musicianship really adds a new dimension to the songs. I do miss the horns from SB though, but the bluegrass instrumentation fills that gap nicely. Unlike most country/bluegrass/roots these songs have real personal meanings and shading that gives them more depth than their cheerful exteriors would indicate.

I highly recommend this CD. It is unique in sound and content, and really deserves larger audience. Go see them live if you can. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Their Best Yet 28 Sep 2001
By "gopherus" - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
The Gourds, who manage to incorporate every type of North American music into their own unique style, create a masterpiece with this record. From the pop rock "Pickles" to the evangelical "Jesus Christ" the Gourds make every song jump out of the speakers and dance around. The songwriting is their best yet and their musicianship is impeccable. While some of their early works had a sloppy drunk edge to them, Bolsa de Agua manages to stay out of the gutter and on the front porch. The Gourds are one of the most unique artists around and this album relfects and celebrates that uniqueness perfectly.
