The Gourds' ballads have always been witty and danceable, but on Haymaker! the lyrics have more emotional range than ever before.
-
UncutExultant opener 'Country Love' and Cajun rumbler 'Shreveport,' like most of Haymaker!, just sparkle. [Feb 2009, p.82]
-
With this latest, and a dozen years in, the Gourds have released their finest record yet.
-
The local quintet's 10th studio offering is polished and direct but still distinctly and eclectically Gourdian.
-
Haymaker! is a typically witty, rambunctious album that shuffles up the band members like a deck of cards.
-
On its ninth studio album, the group tells tales of true love and trucking--subjects all country artists are entitled to explore--but it also takes plenty of off-road detours.
-
The band's ninth album continues the Austin-based ensemble's penchant for offbeat Southern minutia and melodious, after-hours juke joint revelry, but despite boasting production values that rival anything before it, Haymaker! feels less like the blow to the face that its title implies and more like a last quick rummage through the basement before the garage sale starts.
