After the runaway success of Big & Rich's 2004 debut, HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR, the quirky Nashville duo was in serious demand, both producing and appearing on albums by numerous artists. Despite their busy itineraries, Big & Rich's second full-length, COMIN' TO YOUR CITY, doesn't disappoint, offering up more of their wild and wooly rock-tinged country antics.
A sonic fusion of Brooks & Dunn and Barenaked Ladies, John Rich and Big Kenny wear their whimsy like well-fitted cowboy hats, as is apparent on "The Freak Parade," the record's outrageous opener, and the following title track, which is sort of a 21st-century riff on Hank Snow's "I've Been Everywhere." Boasting great vocal harmonies, energetic production, and clever nods to various musical styles, COMIN' TO YOUR CITY is a worthy successor to HORSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR, and is sure to please the faithful while winning over even more Big & Rich converts.

Professional Reviews

Rolling Stone (No. 987, p.130) - 3.5 out of 5 stars - "...COMIN' TO YOUR CITY is as expert as it is exceptional."

Spin (p.106) - "'Never Mind Me,' the album's highlight, is a soft-rock ballad that takes cues from early Steely Dan, and 'I Pray For You' suggests Journey without the pomp." -- Grade: B
