Hard Working Americans - Hard Working Americans
Review by Андрей Орехов
The self-titled debut album from Hard Working Americans is a solid effort that showcases the band's unique blend of rock, country, and folk influences. Led by singer Todd Snider and featuring a lineup of seasoned musicians, the group delivers a collection of songs that are both musically engaging and socially conscious.
From the opening track "Blackland Farmer" to the haunting ballad "Down to the Well," Hard Working Americans displays a knack for crafting memorable melodies and thoughtful lyrics. The band's cover of Randy Newman's "Mr. President (Have Pity on the Working Man)" is a standout, with Snider's vocals conveying the song's message of economic inequality with conviction.

Comments
Strong team there...can't wait to hear more!
When are y'all coming to my Town...? Lake Martin, Alabama...?
Employ these Hard Working Americans ASAP. They're just good honest folk who want to live and work with a God-given right to do so with (just a modicum please, of) DIGNITY.
Only thing missing from this is Todd Snider's harmonica skills.
Drinking tea and getting down, watch out for the heavy stuff, this is going to get weird...there's nothing in the cup.
First comment? AND VIEW! Hippes With Attitude!!
Ha Ha Ha ...love it...can't wait to see you all !!
Check your mail...
Not sure how the extra crap got included in my post below ..but you get what I'm saying. These guys are what it's all about.
I've never seen Todd pouring his everything in to his vocals like he is in this. He's amazing! HWAmericans will be around for a long long time.

Sweet Drivin N Cryin' cover to open! That's Neal Casal on the slide.
