Ten Cent Redemption's sophistication of music and lyric moves the listener across wide ranging emotions and involvement. These four experienced musicians and writers produce a sweet symbiosis of original material and masterful musicianship. Lead singer, Rhett Lee, guitarist John Waggoner, bassist Tony Burke and drummer Bill Thomason have come together at the right time, in the right place and the product is Ten Cent Redemption's exceptional debut album, Worst Plan Ever. It's a tight package that grabs with soulful vocals, ripping lead, driving beat and solid bottom, then takes you many places. Sometimes it's a bundle of sweet chords that transforms into driving need as in Turn Out the Lights. Sometimes it's the dark menace and urgency on a wave of fear in Bring Your Gun or Murder on the Dance Floor. Sometimes it's a ballad of longing for love or a eulogy for something or someone past. Articulate, jangly, alternative country, Brit-pop or Americana -- call Ten Cent Redemption's music anything you want, but listen and you will be swept along on a powerful ride. Worst Plan Ever made Westword Music Editor Dave Hererras top list of 2005. Fusing elements of ethereal Brit pop and Americana, Ten Cent Redemption's debut aches as much as it twangs.
