The thing that draws most people to the Spanic Boys is the heartfelt and deft execution of roots rock, and for bands with such a following any experiment is risky. On Dream Your Life Away the band edged toward psychedelia and a harder sound, with disastrous results for their popularity. This isn't to say that the individual songs don't have merit, because many of them are very good. What is lacking is a sense of continuity and flow over the course of the album. The grim Byrds-esque guitar rave-up "What Was Is Gone" is preceded and followed by rockabilly pieces that are simple and sweet, and the discontinuity is a bit jarring. At times on this album the disparate elements do fuse into something brilliant, as proved by the edgy title cut. Unfortunately there are other points where you can hear good musicianship, good singing, and a good lyric, but the result just isn't compelling. Still, this album is worth having for such cuts as "Everything Not Right," which is as joyous a road song as any band has ever recorded. (Allmusic)

On sale from Tuesday, August 27, the latest issue of MOJO magazine celebrates the life and times of the great Johnny Cash, ten years after his sad passing. The free CD, Johnny Cash… and Friends, shares the genius of The Man In Black on tracks by Jerry Lee Lewis, Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds, Willie Nelson, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Townes Van Zandt and many more.
First the Spragues, and then the Spanics.....you guys are on a roll. Americana from kinfolk is some o' the best music ever (see Blue Sky Boys, Delmore Brothers, the Everlys, Carters, etc etc....)
C in California
There's only three tracks here where they get Psychedelic, but they are great. It's kind of like what might have happened if The Everly Brothers had stayed relevant through the 60's.
Thank You.
Thanks a lot for the Johnny Cash bonus!
