notes

The "Savage Sprague Brothers" is their newest release! After their two critically acclaimed Hightone CD's, this West Texas duo launched a rock'n'roll invasion, appearing on 2 world tours, CBS television, featured on two NPR shows, etc. Favorable reviews in Playboy, Rolling Stone, Washington Post, etc, confirms the "Spraguemania" that has spread all the way to Japan! On this new release, (their 1st on Wichita Falls Records), the boys are back with 9 new originals, as well as 3 covers. All of these songs are performed in the style of Buddy Holly, Bobby Fuller, Everly Bros, and the Ventures, all with their own inimitable Sprague sound, of course. No Sprague Bros. collection is complete without these soon to be classic songs!

    This album subtitled «early recordings from the vault» contains material recorded in the 90’s with Frank and Carl playing all instruments. As I said before, comparisons aren’t always fair. You see, saying that someone sounds like (put the name of the legend of your choice here), could reflect a lack of personality from the artist. But who could say that the Sprague don’t have no personality? Surely not me. So if you don’t know the brothers yet, I would say that they are the perfect mix of Buddy Holly, The Everly Brothers, Bobby Fuller with a dab of early Beatles (when they were still playing live). As Frank Lee Sprague once said «Influenced by none, inspired by many» and the fact are here you can cite every artists you want, the sound is 100% Sprague Brothers. They could be good musicians and singers but they’re more, Frank is one hell of a songwriter. From the beautiful semi accoustic «Charlene» to «Once again I’m fallin’» and its haunting harmonies without forgetting the rockin’ side of the brothers with «Two Hands In My Pockets» and «USA» with lyrics similar in the meaning to Blasters’s «American Music». If you’ve already bought their Hightone releases you know what I’m talking about. If you’ve never heard them and you want to know how to write «pop songs» (before this word becomes pejorative), give this album a try.
