Driving With the Devil Title Track Artist (Brasher-Bogue) Review


-RacersReunion® RADIO

Here is a post from Missing Miami ( http://missingmiami.com ) about the artists and the album that contains Driving With The Devil.

By God

***

I have always been an outspoken supporter of the country music band Brasher/Bogue. The reasons? Its an elegy of sorts:

  • Andy Brasher and Dustin Bogue have incredible vocal talent.
  • Andy and Dustin are adorable, kind, and relatable.
  • Their music is a sincere, hardworking, authentic slice of Americana honesty.
  • They write poignant, meaningful music with songs that tell a story- consistent with the heartbeat of the country music genre.
  • They play the guitar, and harmonica, very well. *swoon*

I met these guys about a year and a half ago at Kenny Chesneys No Shoes Radios Winter Beach Bash (KCNRSWBB) . They impressed me so much that I went to see them again in DC, as they were the headliners at the Hard Rock Cafe preconcert parties for all the Kenny Chesney stadium shows. I saw Dustin and Andy once again back in January in the Keys and they told me how hard they were working on their new album. Since then, I have waited for news of the birth.

By God is here! It is being released in two parts on iTunes the first on 6/12/12 (today!) and the second half on 12/12/12. In Dustins own words:

We have grown a whole lot. As you know, we have put on many, many miles (literally and figuratively) which wed like to think has made us better at all of it, from the writing, to playing together, singing together, and producing an album together.

There is quite a bit of testosterone in some of the first five songs. Driving with the Devil is total outlaw. By God is a God, country, and family anthem about standing up for what you believe in. Big Joe is a tale about fist fighting with a big ol boy with a jealous bone.

Andy and I both agree its the best work weve ever done!

Brasher/Bogue is hosting two major CD release shows: Friday June 15th in Storm Lake, IA, and July 4th at the Hard Rock in Nashville. The Real Friends Family is the powerhouse virtual community who have invested themselves fully into the Brasher/Bogue mission. Check them out on Facebook.

The song Driving with the Devil is also the title song to Neal Thompsons audiobook of the same name. Check out the trailer here.

If you like to see good people accomplish great things, I hope youll BUY THE CD! Also please consider sharing this post with your friends and supporting Brasher/Bogue through social media . The ten bucks you spend on this cd has a priceless positive gain for independent musicians trying to get noticed by the mainstream masses. What you gain in entertainment value doesnt even compare to making dreams come true for Dustin and Andy. Its nice to hear Brasher/Bogue on No Shoes Radio sometimes, but its even better to be part of their Real Friends Family and watch the evolution of genius unfold. The good guys of the world are the ones who appreciate the journey as much as the destination. And for a professional wannabe like me, its just awesome to watch them shine. Rock on Brasher/Bogue!

The Long Reach of Bopper, Jeff & RR - Satch Worley's Log Cabin Raceway and "Momma's" Death


Stock Car Racing History

Morris is a great guy and was an awesome interview for that show. I met Morris at Lonesome Pine back a few years ago (sometime in the 90s) when I was helping the Denton Bothers with some ARCA stuff and they loaned me one of their Kowolski Racing Engines to use at Lonesome Pine.

Morris was running the track then and treated this new-comer with the best hospitality I've ever experienced. I look forward to another interview with Morris.

How Many Drivers Competed in Winston Cup?


Stock Car Racing History

I just love a good debate. Sometimes the best ones get stirred up with the least amount of stimulation.

Here at the RR HQ, we have long been aware that perhaps the most popular era of racing history (to those using the web) would be the Winston Era. But we purposely began attempting to stir the minds of older generation fans/folks andfocusedour early efforts on those who could helpdocumentthe stories for "earlier" pioneers. The earlier era(s) are the toughest because we are losing those folks way too fast and many who can recall those stories are not on the web.

We are working on a project (for a ZMN client) that relates to the Winston Era that just might bring about the opportunity for us to begin our focus on those drivers, crew, and their stories. When I asked for the Winston Era information, I mistakenly asked for 1972 to 2003, and as Dave and TMC first pointed out...the Winston era began in 1971.

So, PKL, it really doesn't matter if the 1972-2003 number is 792 or 794, but it was fun watching you defend your turf. I promise this will not be the last time I attempt to ruffle your feathers. Now that I see how easy it is, I just may stir the pot some more.

The fact that this post and thread stirred so much interest (in such a short time) is proof enough for me...we need to move our focus into those Winston decades. I do not mean we will abandon the earlier years and efforts to continue to seek out those who can tell the great stories from those days, I just mean we will begin paying additional attention to the Winston Era.

And as soon as I'm able to divulge the details of this project (assuming it comes to fruition) I will.

Does anybody know of another topic we can address that would allow us to gang up on PKL?

WOW, all these replies and only one guess...? Did y'all just think since she blurted out an answer that she was right. Doesn't match my answer...and I have the complete list with the number for each driver.

As far as I'm concerned the peanut butter sammich is still up fer grabs.

How Many Drivers Competed in Winston Cup?


Stock Car Racing History

I'm working on a project (details later...I hope) that took me into one of my favorite (due to my age , I suppose) racing eras....the Winston era for cup racing.

I just received a bit of very special information from our friends over at http://racing-reference.info ....the best racing data base I've ever encountered. Let's see how many of you can come close to guessing the answer. Here is the question:

How many drivers competed in at least one race in the Winston Cup era...1972 -2003?

The winner will receive a free tour (airfare and accommodations not included) of the Goat Rodeo Garage studios in normally sunny Myrtle Beach, SC, a peanut butter sandwich, bag of popcorn, and a cold beverage (whatever we have in the fridge).
