The Bottle & Fresh Horses
''The Bottle & Fresh Horses'' is the second and final album by the alternative rock band the Refreshments, released in 1997. Production The album was produced by Paul Leary. Critical reception ''The Washington Post'' thought that "new songs as 'Buy American' and 'Fonder and Blonder' aren't quite so droll as the material on last year's ''Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy'', but they do have an appealing good humor that complements their exuberant melodies." ''Trouser Press'' concluded that "'Heaven or the Highway Out of Town' and 'Good Year' are peppy little numbers, but it might as well be .38 Special playing them." ''Billboard'' wrote that "the band's comic slant takes a back seat to its highly underrated songwriting." The ''San Antonio Express-News'' determined that "the music is carefully crafted, but it's also deadly serious—not to mention more country-and heartland-rock oriented." AllMusic called the album "one of the best forgotten gems of its time," writing that "the group drea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The album sold more than 60,000 copies in its first four months of release. Its first single was " Banditos", which was a rock radio hit; the second single was "Down Together". The band supported the album by touring with Seven Mary Three. ''Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy'' was issued on vinyl in 2015. Critical reception The ''Vancouver Sun'' wrote: "Starchy, middle-of-the-road, radio-friendly, four-piece pop, ''Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy'' is entirely inoffensive—even fleetingly catchy." The ''Calgary Herald'' thought that "while ''Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy'' goes down a little flat in parts, most of it is a sparkling affair of songs whose melodies are delightfully down-home, electric geetar-driven and whose cha ...

Wheelie (album)
In vehicle acrobatics, a wheelie, or wheelstand, is a vehicle maneuver in which the front wheel or wheels come off the ground due to sufficient torque being applied to the rear wheel or wheels, or rider motion relative to the vehicle. Wheelies are usually associated with bicycles and motorcycles, but can be done with other vehicles such as cars, especially in drag racing and tractor pulling. History The first wheelie was performed by trick bicyclist Daniel J. Canary in 1890, shortly after modern bicycles became popular. Writing in 2009, Mike Seate related to the U.S. Army motorized cavalry training in 1943, pictured in Life magazine. Seate described "vaulting trenches and beach obstacles" and interpreted this technique as "High speed wheelies, naturally". Daredevil Evel Knievel performed motorcycle acrobatics including wheelies in his shows. Doug "The Wheelie King" Domokos has accomplished such feats as a wheelie. Types Types of wheelie can be divided into two broad categ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
