Action Packed Thrill Ride

Action Packed Thrill Ride comes through with a reliably great set of countrified rock and roll. This act somehow manages to make it seem fresh every time and never gives itself the opportunity to get self-indulgent or drag out an idea beyond where it needs to go. In the band's early days, it was a shambolic rock and roll monster akin to the Replacements. But this incarnation has its dynamics and pacing down perfectly without coming off stilted or overly practiced. Action Packed songs run the gamut from heartsick mope-alongs to whiskey-fueled rave-ups, and the band, possibly one of the most unassuming and "normal" looking outfits around, give themselves fully to the requisite range of emotions and sounds. Action Packed also commits to highly proficient musicianship and passionate performance.
