"Mississippi rowdies in the spirit of Drive By Truckers envision Southern anarchy as what happens when a nice kid tries to go punk."
SPIN
"...'Anarchy in the Southern States" picks up the
cudgel laid down by the Sex Pistols and beats the banal and the mundane to
death with it. It is as deafening an answer to corporate rock in the USA as Sweet Home Alabama was to Neil Young's Southern Man."

Goodman County is what happens when a truck full of rock n roll veers off the road and plows through a double-wide trailer. Instead of rebuilding the foundation, Goodman County makes their home inside the battered rig and uses the trailer for target practice. This is honest rock n roll with the heart of classic country and the emotion of true punk music.
The Advocate in Baton Rouge
a band just trying to make some rock n roll, a band that is true.
Jackson free press
"...a band that is as willing to experiment with new sounds as it adheres to its country-rock influences."
