| Forbes Brothers release ''The Wrong End of The Bar'' |
|
 by Larry Garcia @ DCM
The long awaited new release from Michigan's Premier Country-Rock Band The Forbes Brothers is finally here. Titled "The Wrong End of the Bar" This 12 cut cd solidifies the crown of the Country Music Kings. Already getting major airplay in the cities of Flint, Saginaw and Bay City, The CD will be coming home to Oakland County at one of the TWO cd release parties scheduled for December. Released to stores and radio north of Detroit in November, the first single from the CD (and the Forbes Brother's montra song) "Hip Hop Country Rock" gets played several times each day on Flint's B95 Country Radio. Several hundred copies of the CD have poured out of the 4 FYE (For Your Entertainment) stores that are currently stocking the album. Click "Read More" below.
All songs on the new CD were written by the talented brothers Scott and Dennis Forbes and their bandmates. Their real-life story of being an opening band for so many national artists, the first cut "Opening Act" will be very familiar to many of the groups on MichiganBands.com. Talking about how they are in the fine print on the back of the program and barely even being acknoledged by the nationals. Just how realistic is that.
Full Cut list is as follows:
- 1) Opening Act
- 2) Two-Step
- 3) I've Been Traveling
- 4) Hip Hop Country Rock
- 5) Tell Me
- 6) Maybe Just Once
- 7) Don't Want to be Important Anymore
- 8) The Wrong End of the Bar
- 9) Last Long Highway
- 10) Lovers in Dreams
- 11) The Difference
- 12) Over Again
My personal favorites on the CD are the quick timed "I've Been Traveling", "Hip Hop Country Rock" (which tries to explain the mentality of the Nashville recording executives) and the Nightmarish-If you ever get drunk and forgot what you have done song and title cut "The Wrong End of the Bar". Every cut has a unique style. Some seem more roots, others more pure country, while rock music truly has an influence in the way the songs are performed.
The sixteen page insert that comes with the CD is both visually appealing and informative. Considering the Bar theme of the entire CD, the acknowledgments page is represented by scrawlings on a bathroom wall. Very Clever indeed. Already winners of 23 Detroit Music Awards, You can bet there are a few more on the way with this package.
There will be TWO CD Release Parties - The first December 4th at the Fenton Roadhouse - 14284 N. Fenton Road, Fenton Show to start at 7:30 - followed two days later on December 6th at the home base of the band (owned by Scott Forbes) Mr. B's in Troy at 3946 Rochester Road starting at 8:30pm. Following the set from the Forbes on both evenings, there will be other local artists, several on the DCM roster taking a full jam well into the night.
You are invited out to BOTH CD release parties. These boys really know how to rock, Country Style that is....
