Reaches 6 months ago, knew no man "Big & Rich", today this extraordinary duo has a top 10 pop album with platinum for more than 1 million albums sold and whether the success surprisingly short publication thereof in Euorpa (Germany) , Ever since the appearance at Stefan Raab is also spoken here about the two inclined musicians who seem to fit in so none of the suggested by the media drawers. During the first hearing you get the feeling of being hit by an apparent chaos of styles, themes and ideas that often change in the middle of a song, and all that in predominantly fast, fun-a seemingly pace. On the one hand guarantees that, this album leaves totspielen as fast, on the other hand that is only after repeated listening the fine gadgetry and ulterior motives recognizes that were packed here. The rich vocal harmonies of the duo make you dance or to allow the car down the windows and crank up (such as the pulsating and pounding hit song "Save A Horse"). The fascinating thing about this album is certainly the variety of musical styles, from Traditional Honky Tonk Country ("Kick My Ass"), through jazzy blues ("Drinkin '' Bout You"), Native American ("Wild West Show"), 70er Pop ("Love Train"), Gospel Rock ("Saved"), the much-quoted Rap / Hick Hop elements and a lot of other elements with a similar variety of instruments. Also only with repeated listening you will find that the music of Big & Rich not only "fun music" is, but also downs, such as the current single in the US "Holy Water" proves. In song is about sexual abuse and in the video, the sister of Big Kenny plays herself: "She needs someone to hear her When She Cries" ... In massive "Saved", the two choruses intone in traveling "Last night I told the devil where to go" to make all the courage not to let it get out of life, erschaffenden from all the bad influences and dependency demons of modern society. And in the wonderful final ballad that even as a story in itself has its fascination, is about people, which has sorely tried life; and about how the confidence that everything will be fine, the only option is to live this life really well. I can only everyone who goes about music without deadlocked expectations, but openly and without prejudices and anxious waiting to be surprised, put this album in his heart - and also to go on an expedition, as there is certainly discover many other things - enclosed the winking, hidden message at the end of the album.
