Wonderful Sounding CD.......2005-06-26

One of the greatest successful pleasures of CD shopping, is to dig in the bargain box, and find a $1 album that sounds simply great! Gee, thank you, John Q Public... for not giving this band, better recognition.

Every track on this CD is catchy and well played. My only slight gripe, is the vocals have a Joe Cocker "croak" at times. (Although the lyrics are poetic and interesting to hear.) I gave them 5 stars anyway; it's just such a well-coordinated arrangement of songs.

There are shades of Deep Purple, Eddie Money, U2, and Cheap Trick and The Hooters in the sets. It's versatile and accessible music... more people should give it a chance!

My little secret.......2003-03-05

This band is great... i heard it sold around 40,000 copies.I am one of the 40,000 lucky ones to find this band.They are even better live. I saw them blow away Creed in Albany,Ga. and many other times in the southeast. Best show i have ever seen The Hazies and Cowboy Mouth,at the Music Farm,S.C.

Great Band.......2003-03-02

This is just a fantastic CD. If you ever have an opportunity to see this band live...do it. They are fantastic. They put on a better show than any live band that I've ever seen. Buy this cd and tell a friend.

Warning: The drums at the beginning of the cd in the song "Trip Free Live" will increase your blood pressure and those with heart conditions please listen with caution. Those without heart conditions, crank it... trust me, the only disappointment you'll have is that this is the only CD for the Hazies currently available.

Will Vinnie hit the big time?.......2001-06-10

First of all, let me say that this CD never really got the recognition it deserves. It is a great slab of hard rock, people! You all know the single, "Skin & Bones", which was way ahead of its' time (It was written in 1992, before all of the other stuff that sounded like it came out around '96 or '97), but there's alot more to them than that. There are good party songs like "Dancin' At Seven" and "#1 Slave", beautifully crafted songs like "Spin" and "Effedrin", and some just plain rockin' stuff like "Trip Free Life" and "I'm The One". The rest of it aint too bad either :)

Another thing...I just saw this band live in March of 2001, and it was one of the absolute best rock shows I have ever seen! There weren't many people there, but that didn't stop them from giving us 110%!

The last I heard they were signed with Egg Records, an indie label, and are still negotiating with a few major labels for their upcoming as-yet untitled release. I have pesronally heard most, if not all of the new songs, and they are just as good, if not better than the ones on display in Vinnie's big room. When they do get back on a major label, we can hopefully look for "Vinnie Smokin' In The Big Room" to be re-released as well.

If you can find this one, pick it up! You will not be disappointed!

Great club band rocks the house.......2001-06-06

For being their first major label outing, this is a really great CD. Too bad that EMI folded just after getting this CD out.
