RECENT REVIEW - from CDBABY.COM 5 stars/5I hate country music...but I LOVE THIS! author: Chris I'm not a fan of country music, but I absolutely love this disc. This is the best album I own. This CD should be available worldwide in my opinion. Anyone passing on this album is a fool...I have started to like country since I have listened to this. I may have to order another copy because I have played this so much that the disc might just explode. You can't go wrong with these guys.
Influences: By Rick Damigella
MUSIC STREET JOURNAL
It may sound clichéd but booze and country music go hand in hand. There is nothing quite like the twang of a Tele and the mournful wail of lap steel washed down with beer, whiskey and red wine (notice I said “and” not “or”). The new album from Zachariah and the Lobos Riders, appropriately titled Alcoholiday, is quite literally drenched in the Devil’s tears. If your drinkin’ buddy ever stands you up one night, these outlaws will be right there to help you drown your sorrows.
If you are young enough to not have known the 70’s Outlaw Country Movement, or if you are a fan looking for something new in the genre, then this disc will give you a boot inside the Outlaw revival currently underway. Zachariah and the Lobos Riders are no newcomers to the music scene. Alcoholiday is their second full length release and the third if you count their country/hip hop fusion soundtrack for the cult film “Dead and Breakfast” which also featured singer Zach Selwyn in a key role.
The sound is decidedly old-school 70’s Outlaw, with appropriate twang from the strings and the vocal chords and enough songs about booze to make this album a candidate for an intervention. And in keeping with the Outlaw spirit, there are a few genre bending surprises here for the adventurous listener, from a country rap to a live cover retooling of a hip-hop classic. Don’t let that scare you off. First and foremost Z and the Riders are all about the Outlaw sound and not overproduced crossover Nashville country. By and large, this is a great album to help induce or even chase away a hangover.
