Highly Recommended

MusicExpert

This is a great album. This is among the few albums I've never tired of playing. If you like your "alt-country" with some heavy pedal steel, this album is for you. Every DTR album is superb. This is one of their best.

It IS Outstanding

I don't care what All Music Guide says, this is my favorite DTR record by far. Calloused Heart #2 is the track that got me into this incredible band. Barroom Bliss, Losin Everyone...just one remarkable song after another. There's no fake hipster irony or forced hillbilly cred here...just heartfelt and honest country music played by guys who love to play music.

They Say All Music Guide

Drag the River is comprised of old-school punks, but they obviously have a penchant for the sad love of country-rock. Closed, the band’s second album, finds comfort in lost love with a shot of whiskey. From the twangy, rowdy rock fun of “Losin’ Everyone” and “Get Drunk” to the sweet and lonely dreams of “Forgiveness” and “Calloused Heart #2,” Drag the River numbs the pain with true honesty. They’re earnest and their country/blues mix plays off the romance of Uncle Tupelo. John Snodgrass and Chad Price are vocal kings, and together they crave a solace behind their weak musical hearts. Closed isn’t outstanding, but the band’s history makes for something enjoyable. Drag the River aims to revamp alt-country stylings into their own and it’s a decent effort. Uncle Tupelo started off the same way. – MacKenzie Wilson
