Brass Tacks is simply one of the best ever albums from NRBQ, overflowing with the unmistakable NRBQ sound and spirit, an original mix of pop, rock, jazz, swing, and more, delivered with impeccable musicianship, love, fearlessness, and joy, joy, joy. The new songs are great from start to finish, with 11 originals and a captivating version of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s “Getting To Know You.” “NRBQ is the Mount Olympus of rock and roll—and this new record is another gem, maybe even their best. For the last four decades, NRBQ in all its configurations consistently discovers real musical light in the darkest of souls. They are a national treasure and you owe it to yourself to listen and experience the Q.” Hal Willner
