Discography

Extra Sauce

by The Riptones

Come and get it. You've heard their three compilation contributions, and you've heard their two self-released CDs, now hear them Bloodshotified. Produced by Ian Spanic (of roots-maven Spanic Boys fame), this is an E-string heavy affair, full of Sun Sessions era rhythm section heroics. All of it is topped off by the sweet vocal harmonies of the Bonansinga brothers. The ghosts of Johnny Horton and Ricky Nelson are all over this one. Done LIVE in the studio to capture the energy and fun of a Riptones show. It ain't high art, but dammit, it's fun. Doesn't that count for anything anymore?

"My latest guilty pleasure--and I love it so. Country to the hilt, smiling and swinging in a style, mixing backwoods swagger with Beatles-quality melody-making and catchiness. Topping each toe-tapping tune are lyrics that are sly, witty, and eminently sinagalongable." Mark Chester, INK NINETEEN

"Like a midway attraction, it's a satisfying ride." Steve Terrell, No Depression
