Review

Entertainment Weekly (1/11/91) - "...This Texas-based quartet has a natural, infectious love for any and all folk-dance idioms, from polka to tango..." - Rating: B-
Down Beat (3/91) - 3.5 Stars - "This album is all about marching to a different drummer--i.e., waltzing to an exotic 3/4 time, Eastern European dance form called oberek, rocking to a unique blend of rock and Mexican rhumba, listening with new ears to unexpected musical combinations....this is courageous stuff--not for the mainstream listener and definitely not for those who lack a sense of humor."

Title Note

Personnel includes: Jeffrey Barnes, Mike Dillon, Carl Finch, Mitch Marine, Joe Cripps, Mark Prather, Bubba Hernandez.

This delightful 1990 release finds Brave Combo at their most lighthearted (although they're always about as far from melancholia and depression as a band can possibly be). There's an Italian instrumental here, a Spanish-language nugget there, and originals sandwiched between them all. Polkas still rule the roost, but this time out they also visit the tango, samba, two-step, chora, cumbia, cha-cha, hora, oberek, and rhumba.

Their version of "Hey There" is a prime example of what makes this band so good. Never stooping to irony or camp, they play the song lovingly--every time they sing "Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes" it will bring tears of joy to your eyes. With wonderful contributions from four great players, this album is full of surprises borne out of the happy interplay and constant, subtle invention.
