(RA) "Time to Pay Your Dues"
Artist: Switchback
Title: Thunder Road
Label: KIVA Records
Promotion: Degyshop.com
Genre: Rock
RealAudio: Thunder Road

A couple guitars, drums and bass begin the first story song of "Benford's Mill," which grinds in electric folk spirit. Lyrics are hard to read in the 2 page CD booklet, but appreciated. Lots of pictures of the band in the woods and chillin' in what the uninitiated might call redneck country, giving the listener a bigger piece of the puzzle about this band when listening to live combo stuff like "Marina del Rey," the start of which could've been ripped from some hard to find beach movie on AMC. While "Till the End" takes on the sad part of the drama mask. You just want to grab a beer pint and drown yourself in it. Not sure if it's a live album, but it sure has the skeleton of one. Made in Canada and for The Band inclined.
