notes
Refreshingly down-to-earth, the Captain Legendary Band is a breath of fresh air in the oft cookie-cutter world of Nashvegas so many of us are subjected to on the airwaves.
Founded in '99 by Charlie Hager and Dustin Logan, the eventual additions of Jeff Hager, Jason Spencer and Jeff Tuminello rounded out this noteworthy group of talented young Texans. Their debut offering, "Those Songs", is a 12-cut bronco-buster of a ride, showcasing their Texas Outlaw and traditional country influences, with a shot of southern rock to keep you on the edge of your seat.
So often when bands are fortunate enough to employ gifted mandolin and banjo players, they tend to use the instruments so often that it becomes distracting and monotonous. You won't find that overkill on this CD. The tasteful, peppered placement of the mandolin, banjo and harmonica is just perfect on this project.
The CD plays like a well-written variety show, with the different actors taking the lead on each song - enough to keep the listeners attention and curiosity as to what's coming up next. Jason Smith does a great job producing this album, flawlessly revving up your heart to hit the dancefloor then slowly bringing the heart rate back down to rest before the next crescendo hits. The mainly-roadhouse sound of The Captain Legendary Band is nicely broken up by the 3rd coast tune, "Kemah Bay", the melancholy "Cold Texas Night", and the harmony-filled "The Captain". But hold on to yer hats, ya'll - there's an unexpected surprise on this CD, and it goes by the name "P & WT". Not for the rugrats, that's for sure, but an awesome song that'll make most men shake their head in agreement whether they want to or not! "P & WT" definitely kicks "A" and will most certainly become this band's live cult anthem. This CD gets the MTM approval stamp of "HELL YEAH!" - treat yourself and become the newest Captain Legendary Band fan...ya just can't help yourself! - J. Boyd

These Sailors Have Set Sail...and Too Hot to Sink!
author: LuckyThe whole cd is awesome, The Captain is already one of my all time favorites. Got to mention...these guys are just as hot as they sound, too. Let's just say, i wouldn't mind @ all ending up shipwrecked on a deserted island with legends like this.If OUTLAW COUNTRY is running ammuck, and stealing hearts now, The Captain Legendary Band would certainly be the one to blame!

Oustanding album from new country artists.
author: R. Foster"Those Songs" is as good a debut country album as I have heard in a LONG while. All of "Those Songs" are well-written and well performed, with Outlaw country and country rock influences evident throughout. The CLB proves equally adept at rollicking, roadhouse style country rock and slower tempo "hurtin'" songs that come straight from the gut. I have played this one for several friends and they have all enjoyed it thoroughly.
great debut album. really expect to hear a lot from these guys.
author: tanner t.Great album. This project has a little bit of it all: From traditional country to rock. Serious sad songs to laughable anthems, Those Songs will drive you to drink, just as it says in the title track. The whole thing is extremly enjoyable from start to finish. It is a must have for country to southern rock fans. 5 stars!!
