{"product_id":"sweet-bird-of-youth","title":"Sweet Bird of Youth","description":"The Rock-A-Teens: Chris Lopez, Justin Davis Hughes (vocals, guitar); William Joiner (bass); Ballard Lesemann (drums).\u003cbr\u003e\"This world is filled with such ugly things\/Frightful visions is all it brings\/All he needs is to hear some pretty sounds.\" Chris Lopez's quavering wail soulfully emits these words from the edge of sanity near the end of The Rock A Teens' third full-length SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH, and there can be no more appropriate finale to this powerful, sincere, unrefined record.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing the eye and ear-popping GOLDEN TIME, SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH offers testament to this Southern-fried band's position as a rising force in fired-up rock \u0026amp; roll. Hailing from Cabbagetown, Georgia, on the outskirts of Atlanta, The Rock A Teens play a spirited, gritty, but melodic brand of '50s raucous, backwoods rock \u0026amp; roll. Their stocks-in-trade are hearty, dexterous, clever songs of life and love. While the organ-infused opening track \"Car and Driver\" plays off a relatively simple metaphor, it does so in an original and remarkable manner. SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH presents intelligent, hard-hitting rock as the Rock A Teens manage to cull from the music of the past without ever seeming even vaguely anachronistic.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41910853140645,"sku":"673855018119","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/906f4aeedb10cf34e4c9c1fa118e1549_508d2e50-21bc-420f-9bda-f7b42a216cd9.jpg?v=1762154019","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/products\/sweet-bird-of-youth","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
