This Atlanta-based quartet oozes enthusiasm and energy in serving up an infectious blend of rockabilly and swing. In the process, the Cigar Store Indians prove that melody and aggression can happily coexist. While the rhythm section roars and rumbles, Ben Friedman earnestly delivers his vocals over Jim Lavender's formidable electric twang and tinges of steel guitar, piano, and horns. The music ranges from cactus-and-armadillo-skull dirges to unassuming ballads to high-octane romps. Above all, the Indians make time-tested musical styles sound fresh and exciting; they're danceable and catchy without being shallow. --Marc Greilsamer

The men can make music.......2005-05-18

I saw this group as the opening act for the Squirel Nut Zippers and was I impressed. You can help but move and dance to the sound. Great lead guiter by Jim Lavender. I have all their CD's and hope to get the new one, Built of Stone this weekend. They are probably one of the hardest working bands.

An incredible band.......2005-05-07

About 10 years ago a friend and I went down to hilton head island to celebrate his 21st birthday. So as you can imagine...many bars were closed by us. Anyway, we stumbled into a hotel bar one night as we had heard, from the street mind you, an incredible sound coming from this place. When we walked in their was a barmaid, and one other customer in the place...practically empty. Except for this band on stage and playing away as if there was a full house. We sat down and ordered our drinks and listened to these fellas play ALL NIGHT! They were amazing! When they FINALLY put their instruments down we bought a round of drinks for them. We sat and talked about the plans for the big time. I told them if and when they put an album out I'd be first in line. But as you can guess...time slipped away and I lost track of these talented guys. But what a surprise! I've found them again AND they have two albums out!! So without even listening to the tracks...I've purchased both...so should you.

Genuine guys, great music, unique CD for your collection........2004-12-27

As a music reviewer for a magazine, it has been my distinct pleasure to meet Ben and the boys on more than one occasion. I have been to see them pretty much every time they make it to my area, and I will see them again, on Jan. 7th (in the Northern VA area). They are the most genuine group of guys you'd ever want to meet, and this is a quality that shines through in their recorded music. If you ever get the chance to see them live, walk up and chat. You'll be amazed at the warmth of character that radiates from these gents.
On to the CD:
This CD is a must-have, and worth every penny if you like country, Rockabilly, roots, Americana, or just good-guys.

I must recommend, however, that if you've never heard CSI (Cigar Store Indians), that you get the self-titled CD before you listen to this one, in order to gain more insight into CSI. My personal preference is for the more rootsy sound, which can be heard on several, but not all, of the tracks on this CD.

great album.......2003-04-04

These guys are great. I never have gotten to see them live but I would in a heartbeat. I could listen to my cd over and over and not get tired of them. I am going to buy thier new cd now.

El Baile De La Cobra.......2001-10-03

Wow!!!!! These guys are great. This is not a bunch of commercial junk, this is Rock-a-Billy at it's best. I have not played a CD over and over like this in years. I just don't get tired of these guys. In fact I just ordered The Cigar Store Indian's first CD and I understand that they have a new live release coming out soon (10-12-01 I think)and I plan on getting that one as well.
These guys put on one of the best, fun-filled shows that you will ever see and I strongly recomend that the next time these guys come to town that you check them out. They have fun and it shows, whether you see them live or listen to one of their recordings.

Death of Samantha were one of the most promising American rock bands of the 1980s, but several factors conspired to ensure their anonymity. Metallic but never metal, glamorous (in their own minds, at least) but never slick, they always found a way to slip through the pigeonholes of popular taste. Besides that, their drummer, Steve-O, was a complete nut job. After a five-year hiatus, the principal members of Death of Samantha (minus Mr. O) reemerged as Cobra Verde to release Viva la Muerte. Not only does the album one-up all of Death of Samantha's previous accomplishments, but it also adds an element of emotional and intellectual intensity rare among bands this rocking. With an irreverent eye toward technology and a steadfast belief in the substantive qualities of posturing, Cobra Verde's self-described "avant-glam" crusade might be one of the few remaining hopes for innovation within the guitar-bass-drums trinity. Viva la Muerte is their mission statement. --Elden Stovall

By far the most forceful of the Death of Samantha/ Cobra Verde oeuvre, the band has dispensed with all subtlety on this musical jailbreak. The finer points of glam rock are stowed away, replaced by roaring guitar overdrive. Petrovik's signature sturdly lyrics are augmented with sheer desperation- going as far as stealing Charles Manson's "I'm already dead" line (balanced out elsewhere with a name check of Buster Keaton). This will stick in your head like the lyric- "For the last seven years I've had the same song/ Running through my head like a chainsaw."
