iTunes Review
While some fans might find it ironic that Cross Canadian Ragweed’s most commercially palatable album to date begins with a scathing put-down of mainstream record bosses (“Record Exec”), Mission California is a wholly satisfying fusion of the band’s Texas grit and the listener-friendly hooks of contemporary pop country. The album’s two standouts are radio hits with real feeling: “Cry Lonely” is a yearning ballad on a 4/4 backbeat, and “I Believe You” an optimistic singalong that still manages a sneer. With “In Oklahoma” the band has finally written the perfect anthem for its home state, while “Smoke Another” is firebrand rock’n’roll for the honky tonks. Even as the band opens its heart on “Soul Agent” and “Jenny,” they still make space for the ornery blues of “Deal” and “Dead Man,” the latter written by frontman Cody Canada as a kiss-off to his estranged sister. Whether you are looking for modern country with a little more attitude, or just longing for the Steve Earle of Guitar Town, Mission California is a rewarding listen.

Come on Cody
by JoeBlow99CCR has been trying to change their image for awhile. Very rarely do they play Bang my head, or Carney Man, or if I were Pres. at concerts anymore. Lawerence sounds soo Nashiville it isn't even funny. How many albums can they stick Jenny on as well?? CCR. WTF? Cody u can do better! Help me get over this mountain! Experiment but do sell out Keith Urban stole ur look but don't let Nashville still ur soul!
Can't give a CCR album lower than this.....
by TrentBrittenLol, what can i say? It doesn't have that grungy F-U style that we've come to know from CCR...I know a lot of people who idolize Ragweed as their Outlaw Country idols. Bands have formed because of what they've done...but this? idk. Will Ragweed become too big for their own good??? It still has decent to good songs...I can't stomach to give them less than 3..
Left in the Dust
by Rivers CuomeauxIt's a shame that a group of "fans" label great artists "sell outs" simply because their music does not sound the way that these critics would like for it to sound. Indeed, there are great artists who have definitely sold out. An effective example of this is Jack Ingram. Cross Canadian Ragweed has grown from the "Boys from Oklahoma" and "Carney Man" days, and while doing so, left certain fans whose tastes have not grown with them in the dust. "The Years," for example, is currently one of my favorite songs, and if you can't see this album for what it is, a great work of art, you are obviously among those fans left in the dust. You dust dwellers will find other great artists to idolize, and when they grow, you guys will once again have that left in the dust feeling. And it will be a never ending cycle, until you use your five senses to perceive great art for what it is.
