Artist: The Stone Coyotes Genre: Rock CD Review: The most amazing thing about this band? They're family. Yes, mom's on guitar and wailing voice, dad's beating off the drums, son's knee high in bass. It's a bit hard to believe. If there were an element of G-rated or Christian pomp to it, yeah. But this is a rock band. Not even pop. Rock. Quote the opening title song - 'calling all cars / my back's to the wall / send me some assistance / we've got a bar-room brawl', and that they have. Mom's the star, with a voice half her age (if that really Is her son pictured there), because she turns the guitar into good lead material. It's happy and the constant beat will have you believing.
