Genuine

not one of the best known bands in country, but the derailers are very competent, some top stuff on here. I was lucky enough to meet these boys in nashville and found them to be genuinely friendly (not like some of the ALLEGED stars I met out there) If they are stars then they shouldn't have their heads stuck WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE.

Compared to the other reviews, where the critics seem to know this band very well, this one will be short and sweet. As a long-time country music fan, it is sad to see some of the artists and music that are considered "country" today. Like rock music, country has been ill-served by the "video age"--it would seem that "looking good" ( i.e. handsome, cute, whatever )is more important than the music itself. Not to name names, but some of country music's biggest artists today are more pop than real country.So the Derailers are a breath of fresh air. With the exception of the maudlin "Elvis song", I enjoyed this set from start to finish--good songs, strong vocals, fine "twangy" musicianship--these guys deliver. Why not 5 stars ? Well--if I give the Derailers 5 stars, what do I give Merle Haggard ?In summary, if you like real country with a contemporary touch, rather than over-produced "mush", get this CD--your pleasure will be " Genuine " !

One of the better albums made while Tony was still with the band.I like the Derailers with the two replacements it took to pick up the slack from Tony's leaving.This album has some polished gems fans and New Derailers fans alike will appreciate. Worth the cost of a listen.You'll hang around for more if you're a country fan, at all.

I love the mutliple influences and sounds of The Derailers. Genuine brings some new sounds - particularly "The Wheel" a lovely song. My other two favorites are "I Love Me Some Elvis" a fun tribute to the King and "Uncool" a fun social commentary that explains why I love The Dearilers, "I'll do my own thing and be uncool." I am glad they do their own thing and play some great refreshing music. I never thought that my dad who forced me to watch "Hee Haw" and I would both love the same band so much.

If you like the Derailers "Full Western Dress" and "Reverb Deluxe", then you will LOVE this CD. Too bad Tony Villanueva left the group, as I think that his lead vocals were the BEST:) John in Austin

A great album. Loved it. Great songs and brilliant intsrumentals.

What a great CD. Derailers doin what they do best.
