I don’t typically do CD reviews and I’m don’t plan on doing another one after this but I have some time before I get some products in to review so I thought that I would do this one really quick. Whenever I talk to people about this CD, I get blank stares back because no one seems to have heard of it and honestly, that’s sad because this is a GREAT CD.
The best way to describe this CD is Heavy Metal Country. Yes, HEAVY METAL COUNTRY. Let’s look into this further shall we? On drums we have Vinnie Paul, on guitar, Dimebag Darryl, and Rex Brown on bass, yes, ¾’s of Pantera fronted by country music rebel David Allen Coe. We’re talking country music that knocks you out and stomps you in the face.
The opening track “Nothin to Lose” is a great song. There’s nothing like Chugging guitars over a train beat. “Get Outta My Life” has a guest appearance by Hank Williams III…country royalty if there ever was any.
While I am a Pantera fan, I’m not really a fan of David Allen Coe or country music in general but I personally LOVE this album. It was recorded during the Reinventing the Steel tour in 2000 but didn’t come out until 2006, two years after Dime’s tragic murder in 2004.
Here's the video to "Nothin To Lose".
If you can find it, pick it up. It’s a great album!
I have a cymbal and a couple snares coming in for review….stay tuned!
