Copied from Wiki: [It has been described as "The Allman Brothers meets Pink Floyd" and Jennings himself has compared it to Nine Inch Nails.]

I'm more of an Electric Rodeo/Steady At The Wheel/Bad Majick/Southern Comfort fan than a Waylon fan.
This CD is more hard psychedelic rock than country.

Here's a review:
http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/...concept-album/

It's great if you're an SJ or Prog Rock (ELP, Floyd, King Crimson, Tull, Rush) fan.
I don't think a country/western only fan would like it.

I'm back to the garage to crank it & burn old bills for BTUs.
Get it if you like Shooter's rock stuff.
Don't expect Lonesome, Ornry & Mean though.

More like NIN without the whining



BTW - Stephen King narrates it as a cynical DJ getting pushed off the air by the government.

UPDATE - It's better than I expected. I think it's great.
John J. Robinson's review here: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Ribbons-...ews/B00354NB4A sums it up better than I can.


One word: "All of This Could Have Been Yours (reprise)" pick one.
