ME FIRST and the GIMME GIMMES, the cover band who have single handedly revitalized the careers of many long forgotten artists, are back with their 6th full length entitled Love Their Country. If their stylistic focus this time around isn’t completely clear from the album title or the cover photo, then let me spell it our for you, C-O-U-N-T-R-Y (as in music). The GIMMIES are set to breathe new life into this almost forgotten genre! With a curtsy and a tip of the old ten-gallon hat ME FIRST tear through 12 of country music’s most famous tunes. Songs by the likes of the Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton, and Kenny Rogers just to name a few. A supergroup of sorts, bringing together members from NOFX, Lagwagon, The Swingin’ Utters, and the Foo Fighters, it’s no wonder that ME FIRST and the GIMME GIMMES pull off a country record flawlessly. If I didn’t know better I’d think they wrote these tunes themselves. So mosey on up to some sort of cold beverage, and get yourself ready, because the hoedown’s a fixin’ to go down!
