10th Anniversary edition on LP, CD, and Digital!  Featuring updated artwork.  New liner notes from John DeAngelis. "What a KILLER record! Right up there with the Q's best! Production, arrangements, performances and songs... just knocks me OUT!" -Bonnie Raitt "Keep Rockin' NRBQ!" - Terry Adams If you look it up in your dictionary, you'll find that "getting down to brass tacks" means to get down to some sort of serious business. But for NRBQ-in general, and specifically on this outstanding album from 2014-it means getting down to the business of making unique, memorable music while also having some serious fun. -John DeAngelis from his liner notes The record starts out with the slamming beat from drummer Conrad Choucroun, featured on the most fun song "Waitin' on My Sweetie Pie" from guitarist Scott Ligon. He also wrote one of the most touching songs, "It'll Be Alright." It is also the debut of the new bassist and songwriter, Casey McDonough. He wrote and sang two of the best and most popular songs in recent years. They are "Fightin' Back" and "Can't Wait to Kiss You." A hell of a debut! Brass Tacks features some of Terry Adams' most inventive works both musically and lyrically in the band's long history. "Greetings From Delaware," "This Flat Tire," and "Places Far Away." This album also includes "Getting To Know You" from the classic musical, The King And I by Rodgers and Hammerstein... (Come on-it's NRBQ!). For it's 10th anniversary-Brass Tacks returns with updated artwork including photos, new liner notes from John DeAngelis, and fresh remastering from Alan Stockwell, all fully approved by the band. Three bonus tracks are included on the CD and Digital versions. The New York Times once called NRBQ "the world's sloppiest virtuosos." But, NRBQ are actually the world's most fun-loving virtuosos. And the proof of that is all over BRASS TACKS!
