DRAG THE RIVER “Chicken Demos” CD

“Chicken Demos” represents the 3rd and final re-release of Drag the River’s first three albums originally released by Upland Records. The odd thing about this album is that the songs were recorded during the same session that the songs from “Hobo’s Demos” were. Jon and Chad selected the songs that made “Hobo’s” thinking that at the time they were far superior to the other songs. After time had passed, they revisited the remaining songs and were surprised that those songs were just as good if not better. They assembled the songs into this album and the resulting album is anything but leftovers. Some of my favorite Drag songs are on this album and many make Drag’s set list night after night. Picking a favorite Drag the River album though is like asking a parent who their favorite sibling is, they are all amazing and all quite unique. If you don’t already own this album, this is absolutely essential.

The first 50 pre-orders will also receive a copy of Drag the River’s “Live at the Starlight” double CD. I noticed we had an extra box of promos of this release and thought why not give it as an added bonus to those who order “Chicken Demos”.
