A little disappointing

I just couldn't get into this music. I love rockabilly style music, but it just didn't do it for me. I wanted to like the band, I tried to like the band, but I just don't like the band. Every song sounds the same to me.

Nothing but fun

This is driving music. No, this is dancing music. No, this is house cleaning music. No, this is sing-along music. No, this is party music. Heck, this fits the bill no matter the mood or situation. Catch these guys live if you can.

Rockabilly Extraordinaire!

When I lived in Atlanta, I went to see these guys once a month or so. Now I see them whenever they come to my town, so about every six months. I absolutely crave this high energy, highly engaging band! This CD is never far from my stereo.

CSI's self-titled debut is a totally sweet blend of high energy rockabilly, bouncing honky tonk and sultry crooning. The songs are very engaging and often very funny too. After about six months of totally rocking to this disk you start to pick up on the subtle satire found in songs like "Barfly" and "Mother Of The Bride."

But CSI is not just another self-aware proud-to-live-in-a-trailer-park alt-country band. They ham it up plenty but really deliver with songwriting and musical chops that often astound me. I've had this CD for years now, and let me tell you it stands up to repeated listening. Buy it, and enjoy it for years to come!

Whewwwwww!!!

I simply don't trust people who don't like this cd. Also, get a copy of their live cd "Guest List." I had to get it from their website cigarstoreindians.com.

Last time we went to see them we had so much fun I forgot that I don't really drink that often anymore. The 16oz. PBR in the can was the "best deal," but the $20 cab ride, lost cell phone, mysterious scrape on my leg, my new Nikes covered in mud and me sleeping on a sofa when I have a new Sealy Posturpedic matress
led me to believe that they must have put on a hellava show.

great CD - even better live!

like the first review, we got these guys to play our wedding - it was a 50's themed wedding - all the guys in shark skin jackets - the girls in 50s prom dresses - and the band MADE the wedding - their music is great, and they got everyone dancing. Sacred Was the Night was our wedding song. Get this CD!!!!
