The Backsliders: Chip Robinson (vocals, acoustic guitar); Steve Howell (vocals, guitar, electric dobro, mandolin); Brad Rice (guitar); Danny Kurtz (bass); Jeff Dennis (drums). Additional personnel: Greg Liesz (pedal steel); Skip Edwards (accordion, piano, organ); Mike Tempo (percussion); Joy Lynn White (background vocals). Recorded at Mad Dog Studios, Burbank, California. More rooted in old-time C&W than the denizens of Chicago's punk-informed "Insurgent Country" movement of the '90s, yet not quite as broad in their "roots" base as, say, The Picketts, Raleigh, North Carolina's The Backsliders step out fully-formed on their debut CD. Produced by Dwight Yoakam's longtime guitarist, sidekick and producer Pete Anderson, THROWIN' ROCKS AT THE MOON showcases the band's dazzling array of self-penned country-rock, ballads and flat-out shitkickers (with the title cut, "Lonesome Teardrops" and "If I Was King" especially memorable). Guitarists Chip Robinson and Steve Howell split lead vocals, each presenting a credible, authentic sound of their own. When singing together--as on the stirring "Last Train"--rustic ghosts of The Band emerge. Savvy nods to Buck Owens, Gram Parsons, et al abound, and the picking is tight, hot and thoroughly inspired.
