Of course, anyone who names his or her band "I Can Lick Any Son of a Bitch In the House" has got to be interesting. Though, Mike Damron backs it up with enough musical muscle to kick anyone's ass.
Grabbing his band's name from boxing champion John L. Sullivan's biography (note: "John L. Sullivan" is the lead track on the album), S.O.B. kicks out muddy, swamp-country-rock that would make John L. Sullivan proud. This bad boy rocking machine known as S.O.B. just beats on you non-stop, from the eerie title track and the fight theme song of "John L. Sullivan", to the grittiest ballad you've ever heard, "Walk Across Texas".
This is muddy, not-to-be-compromised, dirt-under-the-nails rock of the working man. Though, it isn't all hard knocks and sad tales of life. On the reminiscent "Saturday", S.O.B. recalls hanging out with grandma, watching Saturday morning cartoons, Cap 'n Crunch, Dilly Bars at Dairy Queen, and a care free world that everyone will instantly relate to as it brings up plenty pleasant memories of your childhood. But in true S.O.B. fashion, Damron proclaims "Mama, you're never gonna hit me again" as he escapes from the troubles of life on his Saturday, living a happy life, and eagerly waiting for the next Saturday to come around ("Cause six days ain't too long to wait").
Rockers and country fans will get it, because this isn't pleasant pop. This music lives up to the true working man creed of the aforementioned genres, kicking out harsh, wild country-rock with plenty of heart and soul, and a tender spot to boot. Mike Darmon and his backing band do both musical styles justice, keeping it raw, emotional, and plenty lively. Don't miss out.
