Lou Reed meets the Mavericks
Did you ever wonder what Lou Reed would sound like doing country? Well, all you need to do is to listen to this tune. As always, the slide work on the track stands out as both prominent and finessed. Lays a nice line under the entire track while not getting in the way of the song. Backing vocals are appropriately laid in as to provide just enough contrast to the music and vocal tracks as to stand out, and maybe even get you to "whoo hoo hoo" along. Over all a very enjoyable piece, Zap & the wires are a very enjoyable band and I look forward to my next review.

Zap & The wires Bethy & The Buick LeSabre
Zap & The wires Bethy & The Buick LeSabre. Ok so the first 20 seconds into gets you toe tapping and thinking wow this has got to be the best music for a chewing tobacco commercial ever. And then I looked up Peppermint patty and first thing found was the fictional character from the peanuts cartoon. So this was a really interesting image ZAP the scarecrow driving along chewing some tobacco with peppermint patty. Cool huh but then ZAP mentions smoking Marlborough's and maybe that peppermint was really a peppermint pattie . The vision I started with deteriorates and then after this long drive with the environment unfriendly Buick Bethy gets off at moms house with no mention of any sex. Sure is country the only thing missing is man's best friend.

Buicks Rock
One of the things I enjoy most about Number One Music artists is the newfound ability to hear music from around the world by singers who I'd never have the chance to listen to otherwise. That, in itself, is a great thing. Here, with this song this is a fun song that tells a complete story. I appreciate hearing something more than blabbering lyrics. Great work here. Vocally, a little robotic, but the effort is appreciated. Well produced and mixed. I'd listen again!

Cool Country Power
This country recording reminds me on Tom Petty& Heartbreakers. Not bad, man, not bad. Short intro, good rhythm. Powerful, catchy, with cool vocal performance. No solo required for this ballad. Perfectly produced (mixing and mastering). What else than 5 stars could I vote ? Keep up your work.

Bethy & The Buick LeSabre
Well I heard some reggae and calapso tracks from Zap & The Wires and they were better than this one.. It's quite well played though.. The lyrics are quite nice but the tune is not as strong as the others.. The sound of the crash is a bit weird as well..

Bop review
Hers another cool song, it is a nice classic rock/new wave type of song, the first thing that sounds good is the sound of the Steele guitar you rarely hear that in today's music.very good and tight rhythm section and good instrumentation, this is a very good type of song that you could hear on the pop-rock radio stations. I forgot to mention the very cool keyboards including the Leslie.overall great job, great tune.

I have always had an infinity for Buicks. Fantastic track with a groovy feel. Fun lyrics. Nice guitar work interludes. Cannot wait to jump in my 93 Roadmaster and pump up the volume! BOOM BOOM!

A bit a sad of a story
A bit a sad of a story, well wonderful basswork and refreshing. Wants me wanna hit the road and play some bars but alone! Really enjoyed the harmony among all the instruments. Yet everyone kept some feet on a break. I Heard- Tom petty, jagger and a little bit of You And the wires. Very personal and Bethy might loves this song. Keep it knocking!

Bethy & the Buick LeSabre Review
Hard to sit through this one. The good part is that the song tells a story but it is kind of hard to enjoy. I did not enjoy the singing at all. The instrumental is basic and probably more geared to a live performance than recording. Not my cup of tea but someone might like it.

Bethy & The Buick LeSabre review
This is a fun song and it has a certain appeal. I like the storyline you used that had me closing my eyes and visualizing your vigil. The track is quite appropriate for the story that you have going here. Like the slide work to accent the simple acoustic rhythm section that runs straight ahead to keep your foot tapping. Nice harmonies to complete your song. It has a nice happy feel to it, even if you had to drive home alone! Keep writing your songs in this similar style. There is always a need for funny songs to put a smile on your listeners faces. Good luck in the future!

Zap & the Wires
Love the rythym. lyrics are really cool. nice beat and cool overall track. lead guitar rounds nicely with the song. The more i listen to the song, the lyrics grows on me, and actually well written. i can tell you that i like this song. not much of my genre taste, but, overall i give this song at the very least 4,8 stars. Nice job Zap & the Wires. can't wait to hear another track from you guys and see what else you got to jam to. Richard Broussard

Interesting!
Frank Zappa and Lou Reed come to mind while listening to this song. Fun interesting sound and song. Well put together, as you can hear each instrument well. Americana music for sure. Well done. Edward Westbrook

Bethy & the Buick LeSabre
Hey Bud, love the tune... it has a smooth flow, pretty laid back and easy to listen to. The production is top notch, the drums are solid. Vocals are also very solid, nothing negative to say, just really enjoyed the tune, everything about it. Thank you.

Bethy and Buick
Great introductory chords and brilliant country bass vibe. Lovely interesting and believable vocal to begin the story telling, with sympathetic and enthusiastic accompanying vocal to keep time with the main singer. Behind it all the bass guitar and drumming percussionist drives the instrumentalisation along at the rate it needs to assimilate the chivvy road journey. Great stuff guys, great number which it might have been a little longer. Thanks Artey

Impressive Rock based Pop-Song
Sounds like a real story of the past and this extra factor brings more interest into the song. The lyrics are original and amusing. All instruments are exactly on track. Especially the perfect played e-guitars convincing me. Overall good arrangement including cool drummer and the exact bass-line. The vocals sounding really special in varied pitch range of the chorus. This recording is definitely professional and very creative. I can´t stop listen this song and I´m sure you will like to add him. Let others know your recommendation.
