    1 out of 5 stars Light Crust Dough Boys "Dough Boy Rock:".......2007-07-18

    I will have to start things off by apologizing to the other reviewers about my comment. I thought this CD was the worst work by The Dough Boys ever. It did not even have W. Lee O'Daniel on it and the music was to "ACID ROCK" sounding for my tastes. I would not recommend it to anyone who is being new To The Dough Boys. Because to me it leaves a bad knowing of what they really are like. I have several cassettes from a friend in Texas who made them for me on these guys and I love them. To me this CD is a terrible example of them. My suggestion to new Dough Boy People is to get their Chronological Order CD this is what they are at their best.

    5 out of 5 stars exuberant, brilliant rockabilly.......2004-10-02

    This CD is a total knock-out, with the happiest music this side of a dance hall in heaven, and absolutely brilliant musicianship and vocals. The impulse to kick off your shoes and do some fancy footwork to it is irresistible, as each and every track delivers great rhythms and flawless renditions of some well known tunes, and Art Greenhaw's original, "It's No Sin to Rock".
    The Grammy Award winning Light Crust Doughboys have been inducted into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, and you will find no better band in this genre. The Doughboys are: Smokey Montgomery (banjo/guitar) and Art Greenhaw (vocals, electric guitar, bass) who both co-produced this CD, Bill Simmons (piano), Jerry Elliott (vocals, electric guitar), John Walden and Jim Baker (violins).
    This CD also includes the talents of The Salty Dogs, who are: Robert Shumy (vocals, guitar), F.G. Hacker (electric guitar), and Manfred Chromy (bass), and on "Hello Mary Lou", Tom Brumley plays steel.

    Though every musician is superb on this recording, I will mention two that are astounding: Bill Simmons on keyboard, who gets his own turn on "The B.S. Boogie", also shines throughout the CD, and Art Greenhaw's vocal talent. His voice has the depth and richness of Elvis...that dark Hershey bar warmed in the sun kind of sound...but with an extra vibrant ring to it. It is simply a phenomenal voice, with artistry in his phrasing and interpretation, and of course, it is ideal for the Elvis numbers on this CD, the rousing "Jailhouse Rock" and "That's All Right Mama".
    If you like rockabilly, traditional country, or just want to lift your spirits with some fabulous music, you won't regret buying this CD. The sound is excellent, and total playing time is 35'21.

    5 out of 5 stars For Roots of Rockabilly, THIS CD IS TOPS!!!.......2000-10-05

    The Light Crust Doughboys and rockabilly??? You bet your blue suede shoes!!! It's a historical treat and an audio treat to hear The Doughboys rockin' in a collection of all up-tempo gems----some old, some new...It's as if Bob Wills came back to earth as a guitar man instead of a fiddle man!! Man, to hear these western swing and early rock classics with The Doughboys' classic instrumentation and just the right amount of vocal slap-back echo is too much!!! Yea, uh, huh.....I really like it!!! The sensational Salty Dogs bring just the right amount of authentic hillbilly boogie to the table, and The Doughboys' and Art Greenhaw's fabulous vocals are the rightful heirs to Elvis, Ricky Nelson, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins........and of course, Bob Wills and Tommy Duncan...Western Swing, blues, gospel, dixieland, rockabilly-------what will these Boys conquer next----reggae??!!! Swing and roots rockers, this is a must have!!!

      5 out of 5 stars "Still waters run deep when you're crying".......2000-12-01

      If I had to choose just one word to describe "Doughboy Hollow", it would be "magnificent". Fortunately, I can use as many words as I please, so here they are: wonderful, sublime, magical, brilliant, extraordinary. Music fans all have their "all time favourite" lists and "desert island" albums, magazines continue to publish similar "ultimate" compilations. Well, if I had my way, this album would be in them all! The fourth album by this terrific Australian group, "Doughboy Hollow" is a very unassuming, practically low-key effort. It's a very downbeat work, although this is by no means a criticism. The songs are of a depressing nature, but they won't make you commit suicide (or make it trendy, as Kurt Cobain did) - rather they are more reflective and melancholy. They deal with loss, loneliness, self doubt and disappointment - attributes which everyone has suffered (or at least, anyone who has appreciated the trials and tribulations of life). Rather than starting the album with a loud bang or a long fade-in, the band chose "Doused" - a gentle broken chord opens the way for a beautifully sad song about gambling; the song's protagonist realises his "Midas touch has all dried up". The mystifying chorus, "Here's the seven, come eleven" makes sense when you realise that these numbers are "natural" dice rolls. At the end the narrator screams "I keep feeding this thing, somebody fetch my gun". Downbeat? Depressing? Certainly, but engaging and sympathetic. Like the rest of the album. "D.C." is one of the band's most well known songs, and is one of their most straightforward - a farewell to a departed friend, backed by a memorable piano opening and a gorgeous violin solo (courtesy of Amanda Brown). Singer Ron Peno, who mostly screeches unintelligible grunts and semi-words, is also capable of delivering soft and soothing sentences. On this album, there is more of the latter. However, the ambiguous and difficult to decipher lyrics and content remain in places "Sweetheart" is a dark love song, "Godbless" is a tribute to the Australian group The Sunnyboys (and also seems to refer to overcoming heroin addiction). "Satisfied" and "Stop Myself" are also songs true to the melancholic feel of the album mentioned above - the former is a six minute ballad, the latter is a musically bright and cheery pop song, with lyrics belying the positive sound. "Battle of Stanmore" is perhaps the most baffling of all - Peno sounds like he is either singing through a megaphone or a Walkman - to an almost martial rhythm. (Stanmore is a suburb in the inner west of Sydney, and the title could be a take on Led Zeppelin's "Battle of Evermore", but that's just a theory with nothing to support it). "The Love Song" is ironically titled (like R.E.M.'s "The One I Love") - a very clearly communicated tale of rejection. This song seems to be part of a trilogy - the next song, the wonderful "Disaster", is almost a self delusional plea to the rejecting partner, based on the belief (or hope) that things will be perfect again, while "Out in the Rain" is an acceptance of the inevitable. Most of us have been through this trilogy, and that is what makes the album so memorable. It expresses the pains and hurts of life. The final song, "Turn Your Head" encapsulates all of this - achingly beautiful, with a vocal bridge that gives me goosebumps. "Doughboy Hollow" doesn't have a bad song on it. It is wonderful. One of the best albums ever made? That depends on your subjectivity. Based on my own, absolutely.

      4 out of 5 stars Great Band.......2000-11-02

      I just noticed this again in my CD collection and decided to play it. Brings back memories of seeing the band live in Melbourne (Australia) many years ago.

      While the band definitely was a bit rough around the edges when live, the quality on the CD leaves nothing to be desired. It is fairly mellow 80s rock but it has not aged badly.

      I remember buying the CD originally for the track "D.C" but his is one of those few albums where there are no bad or boring tracks. What better recommendation can I give than that?
