The Backsliders ‎– Throwin’ Rocks At The Moon 1997

This Carolina quintet's debut studio album, "Throwin' Rocks at the Moon," has craft to spare. Some of the credit must go to producer Pete Anderson, who stripped away the excess and revealed the essential core of the songs. Most of the credit, though, must go to singer/guitarists Chip Robinson and Stephen Howell, who have written songs full of tenderness, melancholy and joyful release and have given them vocals which suggest as much as they state. "Hey Sheriff" has been transformed from a melodramatic bar-band blues into a moody honky-tonk tune where the defiant confrontation with the police is now tinged with fear and desperation. But when the Backsliders decide to rock out, as they do on "My Baby's Gone" and the title track, they do so with an infectious abandon that's hard to resist. --Geoffrey Himes
