Description:
After more than a decade apart, brothers Cris and Curt Kirkwood have reunited to make their first record together since 1995`s No Joke. Rise to Your Knees is a dense, layered record that shows off the chops of a band who famously refused to rehearse in their early days...oh how things change. The bulk of the CD rolls along with country-tinged, laid-back songs - some hopeful and some bleak. With menace lurking at their edges, songs like "Vultures" start and end with protracted bouts of static. Rise To Your Knees is more than just 15 tracks of classic-style Meat Puppets. It`s Cris Kirkwood`s rebirth after decades of drug abuse, legal problems, and jail time. And it`s good to have him back. (Anodyne Records) Purchase it digitally from iTunes and download immediately
