On Slippage, Slobberbone’s 4th album and second for New West Records, the band seems a little keener to clean up their sound and focus on the rock side of their country-rock sound. The band starts out with a track called “Springfield, IL�, which is a road ready rocker with swaggering vocals. “Stupid Words� almost has Latin feel to it with the back picking that Jess Barr chooses to use. I missed their last album but this is a big improvement on Barrel Chested. Wait until you get to the third track entitled “Write Me Off�. It forges ahead faster and louder than anything they have done yet. For those people interested in rock music with a slight bit of a twang, you will be interested in “To Love Somebody�, “Find The Out� or the total country ballad called “Back�, which could easily be an Uncle Tupelo song. Slobberbone is quite a diverse group of musicians able to dabble in country and rock and everything in between.
