This is a great limited edition Live At Billy Bob's album with an included DVD of the group's performance. If you're a Texas / Red Dirt music fan you'll really enjoy this collection.
"By My Side" is about a man who does what he can on his own, but thinks things would be so much sweeter if he had someone who would encourage him. He's tired of having to spend each & every night alone. I just love the way this song sounds. "Red Dress" spins a tale of a man who is out on the road & can't get the woman he loves out of his mind. He wants to be set free so he can be with her. "I can't sleep when I can't get you out of my mind. It cuts so deep in this dark hotel room, & I can't unwind." "Who I Want To Be" is a song I enjoy from all sides - vocals, music, & especially the lyrics. Sometimes you'll find yourself thinking about "the one that got away" & how, maybe, if you could go back & change one or two things you'd still be together. "I wonder where could you be? I wonder why did you leave without me?"
First listen to the performances...
"Shakedown On 9th Street" has a definite southern rock kind of sound that I like so much & you can tell the crowd is loving every minute of it. "Bend But Don't Break" is another crowd pleaser with its upbeat tempo. The song title is a wonderful phrase to keep in mind during many different situations you'll face. Whether that pertains to rules or your own personal feelings about what is happening in your life.Confusion sets in for the man in "Horseshoe Lake." He feels like he's being used & has more questions than answers. Getting away from everything will help clear his mind & put things in perspective, so that's exactly what he does. The album ends with a great song called "The Toast."
...then watch them on the companion DVD
It's always fun to watch live music performances, so for there to be a DVD included in with the album is a special added bonus for the fans. I watched the disc via my computer and must say the picture quality is excellent. If it looks this good on a computer, there's no telling what it will be like on a television.The main menu consists of three options: Watch the Show, Song Selection, or Special Features. Watching the show means being able to enjoy the actual live song performances instead of only listening to them like you would on the regular album. You can see what great performers make up No Justice.
If you have a favorite song you want to hear, then choose the song selection feature. As for the special features, choose between watching a Twister interview and a regular band interview.
One of the best of the extra features is a chance to see a video of the band members doing their solos. When you're finished with that, be sure to take a peek at the band's photo album as you listen to "Bend But Don't Break."
