Better Than Bacon-CD Review
by John Christen
Better than Bacon‘s self-titled album is as the name suggests; bold, savory, greasy and full of fatty substance. It’s good old-fashioned Rock and Roll, with sides of funk, soul, and blues all sautéed in psychedelic jams. Hailing from Fort Collins, these boys know how to serve up a beat fit for any musical palate.
“Glasses Full” and the Big Brother and the Holding Company-esque, “Like the Weather” heat the skillet with sizzling flavor exploding guitar riffs. “Into the Country” is a creamy ragtime garnished with a vibrant piano, and lyrics serenading our great state. “Skinny Man Strut,” “Twelve Years,” and “Missin” feature a sharp and funky bass with crisp mouth watering slices of organ and guitar over gritty lyrics. Better than Bacon goes great with everything.
Recorded at What!? Studios, the album is crafted with precision and care, and is delicious from the first to the last bite. Keeping it greasy, Better than Bacon fulfills and satisfies as well as Momma’s home cooking.
