BFE
- Born In A Barn
If you’re a Southern Rocker who likes a little metal mixed in with your down-home boogie, then
BFE’s CD “Born In A Barn” is for you. But first, let’s figure
out what a “BFE” is. These Ohio rockers realize that in today’s politically correct
world, the real name of the band just wouldn’t be seen in many record shops. The
letters stand for Bum F**ked Egypt. How’d they come up with that, you ask !?
Well, when you live out in the country and a city slicker asks where you’re
from...the answer’s “way out in Bum F**k Egypt”...enough said !
OK, back to the CD. “Born In A Barn” is a collection of high energy, straight-ahead rock-n-roll. From the title cut “Born In A Barn”, a razor sharp message to
all the city folks who put down the country way of life, to the remake of Johnny
Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues”, BFE never lets up. Pedal to the metal, all the way.
There’s traces of Blackfoot in “Brush Fire Express” and
”Hound Dog Woman”, a
little Charlie Daniels in “Drunk Hillbilly” and a taste of Skynyrd in “Lay Me
Down” and “If You See The Sun”.
Frontman Robbie Nichols, who does most of the vocals as well as lead guitar,
is a dynamo both on stage and in the studio. With the exception of “Folsom Prison
Blues”, he is the main composer of the tunes on “Born In A
Barn.” He and Johnny
(Todd) Davis provide the dual lead guitar riffs and vocals, with Andy Blevins
(rhythm guitar), Matt Spencer (bass), and Jeff Wright (drums), along with Scott
Mason (backup vocals).
BFE is in the process of recording their next CD, tentatively titled “Heavy
Honky Tonk”. It promises to be another barn burner !
