NRBQ - BRASS TACKS (10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION) Vinyl LP

The record starts out with the slamming beat from drummer Conrad Choucroun, featured on the most fun song "Waitin' on My Sweetie Pie" from guitarist Scott Ligon. He also wrote one of the most touching songs, "It'll Be Alright."

It is also the debut of the new bassist and songwriter, Casey McDonough. He wrote and sang two of the best and most popular songs in recent years. They are "Fightin' Back" and "Can't Wait to Kiss You." A hell of a debut!

Brass Tacks features some of Terry Adams' most inventive works both musically and lyrically in the band's long history: "Greetings from Delaware," "This Flat Tire," and "Places Far Away."

This album also includes "Getting to Know You" from the classic musical, The King and I by Rodgers and Hammerstein . . . (Come on-it's NRBQ!).

For its 10th anniversary, Brass Tacks returns with updated artwork including photos, new liner notes from John DeAngelis, and fresh remastering from Alan Stockwell, all fully approved by the band.

The New York Times once called NRBQ "the world's sloppiest virtuosos." But, NRBQ are actually the world's most fun-loving virtuosos. And the proof of that is all over BRASS TACKS!
