a modern day johnny cash. if you are looking for something a little diffrent than all the same old commercal rubbish that you here on the radio day in, day out! then buy this and the previous album. full of catchy 2-3min songs that could have been produced any time in the last 50 years.buy it, but keep it to your self.

Having had the fortune to watch Dan play live before, I was really looking forward to checking out his material from the new album at his London gig. No longer is he the one man hurricane who has won over so many loyal fans, but he sweapt in from Alabama with drummer and a new bass player. The sound generated took the whole vibe to a new level. A fuller harder more indie rock n roll hillbilly experience. The crowd were totally engaged for over an hour as the band ripped through favourites from Vs. The Serpientes album and new tracks from Join Dan Sartain. Despite an obsession with suicidal album covers, Dan and band came accross as genuinely happy guys, who enjoyed playing the gig as much as we enjoyed being there. The sound can only be described as The White Stripes hanging with the Beach Boys listening to Ennio Morricone soundtracks - speaking of soundtracks, Tarantino - Sartain has written the music to Pulp Fiction 2 for you... The new album is superb, go on... get a copy, you won't be dissapointed

I heard the opening track - Drama Queens - on the radio, and immediately bought this album; that's the first time I've done that for years, as most modern music - even alternative stuff - just doesn't set me on fire. Sartain, however, has an immediacy, an honesty and a skill for song-writing that puts most of his peers in the shade.
Darkness, passion, intensity and melody pour from his music. He fuses blues, rockabilly and punk, yet transcends these genres to create something unique. At times his music has a cinematic texture, with his ability to casually throw you into a Spaghetti Western. Above all, Sartain is a remarkable songwriter, so even if these stylistic choices aren't usually your cup of tea, he draws you in and captivates you nonetheless.
As a lyricist, Sartain shines. He follows in the tradition of great alternative, modern songwriters such as Shane MacGowan and Nick Cave. On the tragically beautiful The World Is Gonna Break Your Little Heart, his talent is on a par with Dylan. This song is the antidote to the turmoil of existence.
This is the best modern record I've heard in a long time. It only missed the five star mark for me because of the rather cheesy Besa Me Mucho, and his tendency to occasionally sound a little bit too much The White Stripes. But hey, even Sergeant Pepper has a couple of duff tracks....
Buy this album. And when I say buy, I mean BUY. Illegally downloading music by obscenely rich or dead musicians is one thing, but when it comes to emerging artists, it's important to buy their music, rather than trying to acquire it on the sly. So buy this album and put some gas in Sartain's tank; that will mean he can get his band-wagon on the road and blow the roof off a concert hall near you sometime soon....
