 The Corb Lund Band, Five Dollar Bill; Libby Kirkpatrick, Goodnight Venus
Corb and his energetic Lund Band and move like one huge, vivid, synchronized organism, often playing up-tempo western dancehall two-step, but churning in jazz, blues, and nuevoeurogypsy.
But as with Lund's album, the key reason that this edgy, urban album succeeds is the excellence of the arrangements and back-up band.
There are a number of styles on the album, including her own stripped down guitar folk and a countryish track, but much of the arranged material is derived from jazz and blues, looping steamy night music forward from mid-century clubs.

The album runs the gamut of roots music forms and flavours - from western swing to Waylon-esque country rock and ragtime to acoustic blues - and continues in the vein of the band's previous Loose release "Five Dollar Bill" by combining traditional western and acoustic stylings with deceptively incisive lyrics, all to great effect.

 Americana Roots : Your Daily Fix For Americana Music : - Corb Lund Review
Corb Lund's Hair In My Eyes Like A Highland Steer (Stony Plain, 1309) features everything you'd expect from this Western Canadian Roots music staple: elements of Texas and Western swing, Talking Blues, bits of Southern Rock, Country wisdom and cheeky humor.
The well-played music focuses on familiar themes of trucks and truckin', love, rodeos and home on the range -- all of which I'm sure translates very well at his many, many live performances to packed rooms.
Lund has a nice, even voice on this album, but his tone seldom varies from his tongue-in-cheek delivery.

 | Corb Lund | Straight.com Vancouver
You'd think, after forsaking punk rock with his band the smalls for a roots-country-rock sound more reflective of his rural Southern Alberta upbringing, that Corb Lund would have found himself playing mellower live gigs.
Such is not the case, however, and we have to say that the Lund show we attended at Richard's on Richards a few years back was among the sweatiest, beer swilling–est and, dare we say, most uncivilized event we've witnessed since the glory days of the Beat Farmers.
We're wondering how the multiple Canadian Country Music Association Awards nominee and his band of Hurtin' Albertans are going to pull off a similar stunt in the more sedate confines of the Malkin Bowl on Sunday (September 3).
