Album Notes

Grouchy Rooster is a bluesy,southern rockin,swamp stompin,bad ass chicken,with a cajun flavor of attitude.All songs have a true story and written from the heart.Vocalist,guitarist,and songwriter, Gary Jeffries has been around the block more than once. Gary has had videos on MTV with rock band Asphalt Ballet,his group won headbangers ball 7 times. He has released 3 cd's in the last 3 years with ALLIGATOR STEW,THE REGULATORS and COUPDEVILLE.. Grouchy Rooster's cd "Real and Raw" was recorded during various sessions at rehearsals,and any place a recorder could be hooked up,all 6 tracks.

There was no intentions of making a cd until seveal years later,when Beanpole(Pappy)drums,started listening to the old tapes.Pappy convinced Gary that they should release the music.Some of these songs were only played one time,such as Strange Gypsy Lady, and Poor Man's Prayer(Which were captured on the Spot, But Listen to how Daunting these Tracks are. Some of the songs were recorded by other artist's,and have been released on cd's. "Far Beneath The Rubble" was written one day after the Northridge California earthquake. Annie I See Your Eyes was written about Gary's niece,whom he was very close to.She was takin in an automobile accident. This cd is not a slick production(Definetly with exceptions), However if you want to hear Great Songs,Great Lyrics, with geunine performances, Grouchy Rooster's Real & Raw is an experience you won't want to miss. {Dey b sum chickn' fight'n ovr dis}

Real and Raw is the truth!

Gary Jeffries is one of the best singers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. I loved him with Alligator Stew and I love the new music he is doing with The Gary Jeffries Band. I can\'t wait until the release of their new album. I go to his page on MY SPACE just to listen to \"Best I Walk Away\" and \"Voodoo Magic.\" I just wish I had the chance to see him preform in public. Maybe someday he will come to WV.

Nobody sings like this. If God only left one person with vocal chords, you'd want it to be Gary Jeffries. Like the other reviewers, I'm also a longtime fan. For 13+ years, I said Gary is one of my favorite five singers. As of today, I drop the chickenshit act, he is far & away the best natural vocal talent anywhere. Anything Gary touches is earthy & real, be it a band effort or his midwest-rocker covers. (He does such incredible versions of "Turn The Page" and "Rain on the Scarecrow" that you'll FORGET the originals.) The songs on this disc are ripped from Gary's heart, and all the better. The guy can write almost as well as he sings. You don't have to be into a certain type of music to appreciate this talent. I think you'll be hard-pressed to find a listener who could disagree. When he's singing, it's Gary's world, and it's a world we all want to live in. Get REAL, get Grouchy, get Gary in any form available. Bar none, folks, he's the shiznit. He can sing on MY toilet anytime!

Every song is very good.Great down home listn'n. Great story lyrics being told in each cut. You can tell these songs were written from the heartland. I think everone can somehow relate to one of the cuts. Didn't find one cut that I didn't enjoy. I have to say this artist has a great voice and sings from his heart and sole. That is what makes the songs so good to listen to. I should know, I was Gary's first drummer in our first garage band when we were teens growing up. YOU STILL ROCK BRO..He is the best. I knew then he was going to be a great musician and vocal artist. My favorite CD from this artist has to be Alligator Stew. Can't wait to get a new CD from Alligator Stew and the full cut version of The Grouchy Rooster Real and Raw. The title fits the music. CD is worth every nickel.
