Copperhead
Copperhead
One of the last great Southern rock bands to emerge from the 90’s.
This is the original Copperhead CD, produced by Tom Dowd, featuring their first single, "Long Way From Home", an epic Copperhead song that became the title song for the movie "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man", and “Busted” which was featured on the soundtrack of "Dr. Giggles", and "Whiskey” a classic rocker that was made into a video for MTV.
“Copperhead’s brand of Southern Rock follows the legendary trails of Lynyrd Skynyrd with the soulful wailings of the Black Crowes” - Leslie R. Marini, X-posure Magazine
“Southern Rock with a Metal edge” - M. Conley, News Herald
“Eagles-style harmony with a Blackfoot/Metal/Southern Rock sound” - L Weaver, The Daily Record
“Copperhead is the truest example of new-breed southern rock purity in motion, featuring Van Zant-esqu vocalisms blended with a modern-day hard rock onslaught. - All Southern Rock e-zine.
Blistering tracks like “Whiskey Mama,” “Raging Fire,” and “Voices In The Night” will waste no time in bringing you back to the band’s heyday from the late 80s to early 90s .... Copperhead fans young and old alike will be gobbling up this CD with veracity. - Keith "MuzikMan" Hannaleck
Southern rock tinged metal without compare ... Neil Carswell is an undefined amazement in rock vocals. - Ear Buzz
Carswell’s voice is powerful with a better than average range and the band has a great live energy even on the studio cuts. I would call it old-school metal with a southern attitude. The live versions of “Whiskey” and “Born Loser” stand out and their version of “Drift Away” certainly should have been the one to get the air play rather than that other fella’s… - -Jimmy Williams, Gritz – Digital Southern Music Magazine (read the full review)
