Artist History Like a negligent lover you know you should resist,The Star Room Boys will bring you down, but you'lljust keep coming back for more. Led by the deepblue voice of Dave Marr, this comfortless troupe(from the musical nerve center of Athens, GA)features the forlorn pedal steel tones of JohnnyNeff (Jack Logan, Two Dollar Pistols) perfectlyblended with the percussion of Bob Fernandez, the bass guitar of John McMahon, andthe lead guitar of Philip McArdle. Achingly sadthemes surround one of the most genuine countryacts of today. Four years of playing together andwith others (Vic Chesnutt, Kevin Kinney) haveculminated in their Checkered Past debut. Exceptionally keen lyrics and well-craftedarrangements deliver a drink-a-long sound -- byalbum's end, you'll be lamenting lost opportunities and broken hearts. Guaranteed.

Press Reviews "I don't care what happens for the rest of the year.I don't care if U2 release a record better than the"Joshua Tree," and I don't care if Jim Morrison showsup alive, fit and tan, the Doors regroup and put outthe opus of the millennium; nothing mattersanymore because I have heard the best record ofthe year and nothing can change my mind. "Why DoLonely Men and Women Want To Break Each Other'sHearts," a quiet rootsy debut from Athens, Georgia'sThe Star Room Boys is an astonishing collection ofmoody country ballads and ragged honky tonk waltzes."-- Discoveries
