Bo Cox's Rich Man's Gold

I rarely ever do full CD reviews but I really wanted to for this one......

Trav’s Intro is phenomenal, the guitar licks are bluesy and powerful. And it rolls smoothly into Between the Lines, which sums up a lot of musicians (and their fans’ at times) lives. The slide and lead guitar are amazing in this song, thanks to great musicians like Shawn Camfield and Travis Linville, who may quickly become some of my favorite guitarists.
Between the Lines semlessly flows into Carousel, another song about life on the road and how tough it can be on relationships. The lyrics “I hear the music play and I always will…” is the perfect way to describe the passion that drives so many of the musicians that we all know and love.
Send Me Angel is a slow ballad that begs the powers that be for mercy…. This is a good brokenhearted love song that every band needs a few of. Talkin’ WithThe Devil is a fun song. Meant to be danced to and again the lead guitar stands out here. Next up is Gone, with more amazing blues guitar riffs. The song itself has a lot of a bluesy feel to it, thanks in large part to the strong guitars I think. Coming Down is a love song of a different kind….. He calls his love trouble and compares her to an addiction that he’s gotten rid of.
Winter is another one of those lost love songs…. The weather changes make him think about what he used to have with his love…. Winter has always been his weakness…. It’s a powerful line backed up by great slide guitars.
Burning You starts with a great fiddle intro, thanks to some great playing by Jeremy Watkins (also known for playing in Stoney Larue’s band and for being one bad ass mofo in general). It’s a song about getting over your ex.
It rolls right into Rich Man’s Gold, the title track of the CD. Again great guitars, and the lyrics are pretty sweet too. “I’ve had champagne reefer but I prefer the cheap shit still…” Its one of those fun kick you in the ass kind of songs.
The CD ends with a song called Everyday. Its more of acoustic song than most of the other songs on the CD. And another one about lost love.
And don't think the CD's over at the end of that song.... There's a really pretty acoustic song there too. :)

Overall I’d give it about 3 and half stars out of four. Its produced well (by Mike McClure), has some fabulous musicians on the record and the lyrics aren’t half bad. The only think I would change would be the order of the last two songs…. End on a fun note. But that’s just me. :)
