An eclectic set of songs that inlcudes rock, country, punk, blues, and reggae. Politically provocative lyrics. Brilliant guitar work throughout with tasty pedal steel and mandolins added here and there.
Bio / Background
The juxtaposition of cowboy and hippie imagery on the cover of the Atomic Cowboys' Wake Up! CD is indicative of the band's socially conscious mix of country and alternative rock. These guys aren't some fly-the-flag-or-yer-a-sissy hicks, nor are they sloganeering causeheads. They're Atomic Cowboys, damn it! It's no fluke that guitarist/vocalist Jim Wurster is often compared to Bob Dylan, though that oversimplifies the band's musical reach. Wake Up! opens with the John Lennon-inspired title track -- a bluesy, melodic call to arms for Americans to get off their duffs and speak out against, well, anything. The disc then heads into harder, more rockin' territory with "Get Him Out," a poppy, midtempo, post-punk ditty somewhere between the Buzzcocks and the Pixies. It's not until the third song, the laid-back "Silver Moon," that the Cowboys finally rustle up some country twang.
