Omar $ The Howlers - Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty (1987) [Blues][mp3 320][h33t][schon55]

Omar & The Howlers - Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty Original Release Date: 1987 Label: Austin Records Audio CD: February 19, 2002 Year: 1987 Bitrate: mp3 320 kbps For their major-label debut, Omar & the Howlers were trimmed down to a trio, but that didn’t decrease their power. If anything, the group sounds leaner and meaner. Hard Times in the Land of Plenty is one of their finest releases for this reason—it’s a rough and tumble collection that is driven as much by fine original songwriting as it is by the band’s edgy sound. Hard Times is Omar's first major label release for Columbia and he probaly got signed on due to a certain somebody named Stevie Ray Vaughn. The title track got some airplay on MTV (back when MTV actually showed videos and not second rate garbage as Blink 182's Drummer and Wife) which got me interested to buy this album. The album is chock full of some of that Louisana via Texas hoodoo blues and rock with highlights such as the Howling Wolf soundalike, Don't You Know That I Love You, Creedence type of rock such as Shadow Man, and You Ain't Fooling Nobody and tex mex sounding Don't You Rock Me The Wrong Way. Double Trouble keyboardist Reese Wynans helps out as well. Tastefully recorded, it's one of the undiscovered gems of the 80s. Grade B+ ~ R. Smith Bought this "CD" on cassette tape when it originally released. I'm happy to see it's now on CD. Nice original songwriting with coarse, butt kicking delivery. Fans of SRV would probably like this. Give it a listen. ~ Snotter "brown dog fan" Omar & The Howlers - Hard Times In The Land Of Plenty Track: 01 Hard Times in the Land of Plenty 02 Dancing in the Canebrake 03 Border Girl 04 Mississippi Hoo Doo Man 05 Don’t Rock Me the Wrong Way 06 Same Old Grind 07 Don’t You Know 08 You Ain’t Foolin’ Nobody 09 Shadow Man 10 Lee Anne
