Tin Cans & Car Tires by moe. (jam band) (CD, Sep-1998, 550 Music)

You would have to be very picky to dislike any moe. song on this album. If you follow the lyrics you might find yourself laughing out loud. And when you get a chance to pull yourself away from the intricate melodies and harmonies, you may appreciate the very complex rhythm and precussion arrangements unmatched by any jam band out there. Being a moe. fan I hesitate to compare them to any one particular group. But as a Frank Zappa freak, I can't help notice a similarity in guitar work and song writing style in many moe. songs. If you want to be a music critic then the jam band scene is not your gig. Every performance is a reflection of the musicians mood. These guys obviously like to have some fun at each others expense, but they are professional in every sense of the word. There is certainly ebb and flo, wax and wane...Its Hi and Lo all at once.
