As the title of Dem's Good Beeble indicates, the debut album of the Austin-based cowpunk outfit the Gourds is a little bit too kitschy for their own good. But if you can get past that off-putting sense of humor, you'll find that the band has an endearingly ramshackle attack that makes their ragged country-rock ingratiating. Still, Dem's Good Beeble makes the Gourds sound like they might be better in a local bar than on record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Professional Reviews

Q (5/97, p.121) - 3 Stars (out of 5) - "[The Gourds] sound like the best parts of The Band combined with London Calling-era Clash...The songs are dynamite enough to make Robbie Robertson and Joes Strummer or Ely wish they'd written them..."
