Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Album Review

With Heavy Ornamentals, The Gourds welcome you back to their porch for another drink from the jug and another helping of critic-confounding musical gumbo. Led by a pair of songwriting savants in the vein of Doug Sahm and Lowell George, The Gourds create an infectious blend of rock, country, Zydeco, soul, Tex-Mex, folk and blues that leaves the Washington Post saying, "It's hard to resist the contagious good time that the band seems to be having on every song." Flanked by a full van of guitars, violins, banjos and accordions, "This Austin institution," says the Austin Chronicle, "is as tough, colorful, and sometimes as warty as the vegetable they're named for," and with a lyrical cast of characters running the gamut from panther-killing children, trash-carrying new roommates and tobacco-skinned women to the Devil himself, Blender says, "The Gourds are strange even when they're serious."
