This is the second release from Mississippi's southern rockers, goodmanCOUNTY. This CD demonstrates their diversity, from acoustic alt-country ballads to in-your-face Southern punk--but mostly it is just good rock-n-roll.
The cut "Anarchy in the Southern States" was featured in SPIN Magazine's Essential Mix (November 2005).
The Americana UK website says of DEAD ENDS & TRANSITS: "And how Goodman County moves on, Anarchy in the Southern States picks up the cudgel laid down by the Sex Pistols and beats the banal and the mundane to death with it. It is as deafening an answer to corporate rock in the USA as Sweet Home Alabama was to Neil Young's Southern Man."
What other folks have to say about goodmanCOUNTY:

".the new album flows like beer on a warm night, with the loud, melodious
crash of bottles every few songs bringing the listener out of a soulful
withdrawal."

".a band just trying to make some rock 'n' roll, a band that is true."

"[Crown of Tin] sounds like They Might Be Giants doing an Uncle Tupelo
song..."
Brad Clark from Buffalo Nickel
"They're just too damn loud and fast."
Maw-Maw and Byrd
"...a band that is as willing to experiment with new sounds as it adheres
to its country-rock influences."

Best impulse buy of 2006!

I Make Bad Decisions, Right Mama? is just a killer track. I was just trolling through CDBaby and picked this up on a lark and can't stop listening to it.

great album,5 out of 5
author: newman
great album, i love listening to it driving through town, it just feel natural/real. my favorite slow songs were drugstore wine and how to forgive, while my favorite rocking songs were anarchy in the southern states and goodbye with a .45. but they are all great tracks. One of my favorite albums of the year.

Great album overall
author: flesh99
Some of the songs show a little less maturity than others but overall this is a great album. The opening track about Johnny Cash is an amazingly performed dirge with simple but very heartfelt lyrics. The best song on the album hands down is Drugstore Wine followed closely by Goodbye with a .45 and thirdly Anarachy in the Southern States. This is well worth the purchase price. If you are a fan of alt.country at all then this album is for you likewise fans of rock n' roll will not be disappointed.
