iTunes Review
Following up their breakthrough album Jet Black & Jealous, Eli Young Band keep the emphasis on jangling guitar riffs and folk-rocking melodies, reaching back to the heyday of Petty and Mellencamp rather than Nashville-style country for inspiration. Lead singer Mike Eli possesses an aching Everyman sort of vocal that makes his odes to love, fidelity and fulfillment sound credible. Life At Best’s opening and closing tracks — “Even If It Breaks Your Heart” and the title tune — capture a sense of idealism that frames the album as a whole. Love songs like “Crazy Girl” and “Every Other Memory” carry a bittersweet edge, while “Skeletons” looks back on past mistakes with a tinge of regret. A festive tropical rhythm (accented with keening pedal steel guitar) gives “On My Way” an uplifting tone. Among the more countrified moments is “My Old Man’s Son,” a salute to family heritage driven by acoustic guitar and brushed drums. Life At Best avoids sonic frills or faddish concessions — this is honest American heartland music, rooted in reality while refusing to surrender to despair.
Customer Reviews
Old > new
The old stuff is much better, stay true to your roots Mike, this stuff isn't the Texas Country that got you where you are, if it ain't broke don't fix it... It wasn't broke...
Crazy Girl
Best song on the CD
much better than jet black
this album is a much better effort than jet black and jealous. There are pretty good songs and pretty meh songs. Crazy Girl is excellent, no wonder it's all over texas radio. the title track is also pretty good fast paced and fun. I think my favorite songs are Skeletons, Every other memory, and I love you. If your not familiar with this band definately check out their cd Level. That was a 5 star album. This album is 4 stars and worth buying. a good play-though cd.. I'm also glad they choose a much better cover photo than the generic boy band photo like jet black. EYB please write more songs like so close now, and when it rains, those are timeless
