Jim... - "Hollywood Tire" @ Score! Music Magazine

	Jim... - Hollywood Tire
	Location	Lake Placid, NY
	Initial Impression	You could kinda say that they sort of look like they're trying to follow in Kid Rock and Uncle Kracker's footsteps, but they're not.
Notable Lyric	"What would it be like to take every moment in stride? To live every hour as if the next one I died ..." - "What it Be Like???"
Factoid	The band was formed in 1994 and has released four albums during those eight years.
Serve With	Oh, without a doubt, some Pabst Blue Ribbon. Perhaps head to Dairy Queen beforehand for a dinner of Chili Dogs and Fries.
Comments	Their web site says, "Loud, Irreverent, Rock 'n Roll Music." The press release that accompanied this CD states, "Thoreau meets Elvis." I have to say as I read the liner notes and whatnot I'd have been more inclined to agree with the web site's assessment of things. {From the editorial remarks for Felony: "This one's got all the necessary requirements for a good time; underage girls, booze, firearms, violent crime, etc."} As I listened and read on, I definitely saw the Thoreau meets Elvis in songs like "Nothing to See", "What it Be Like?", and "Billy Goat". The CD comes to a close with polar opposites; "Limprock", a fantastic, heavy, tongue-in-cheek epic that you'll just have to listen to, to believe, and the beautiful and soft ballad entitled, "Wish".
