Well, I'm not sure what to say about this one. Cross Canadian Ragweed. They are supposed to be an alt-country act. I don't want to be mean, but my take on this band is this:
Take The Black Crowes and delete all of the soul, talent and coolness and you have Cross Canadian Ragweed. They are the blandest version of country-blues-rock that I have ever witnessed. Even Nashville country music sounds cool compared to these guys. I'd rather see Garth Brook as Chris Gaines than see these guys again.
To be fair, they were decent musicians. They were a tight band. The front man could blaze a solo, the drummer and bass player were locked into a solid groove. It's just that the songwriting was bland and the music lacked hooks. There wasn't a memorable song among the set.
On the bright side. I managed to grab a couple of cool shots of them. This just goes to show that photography can make even the lamest band look cool.
