Explanations of the individual songs
Rodeo radio
Rodeo Radio is the band's first self-composed single.
I say a little prayer
I Say a Little Prayer was released as a single. To promote the piece, originally sung by Aretha Franklin , a music video was shot in black and white . In it you can see the band playing the song, on the actual plot level of the video you see the lead singers Burns and Power as unfaithful lovers.
Hot stuff
The electric guitar by Russ T. Nail plays a dominant role in the piece alongside the harmonica. The vocal structures are more complex than most of the other songs on the album.
It's Not Unusual
It's Not Unusual , recorded with a minimal cast, is the only song in the band sung by Burns alone.
Shake a leg
Shake a Leg is the only song that main composer Power wrote with band member Russ T. Nail.
Mary marry me
The song was only recorded by Power as a singer with acoustic rhythm guitar and Russ T. Nail with electric guitar. The theme of the text was taken up again on the albums Stallion Battalion and Do or Die with the pieces Goodbye Mary and Still Crazy About Mary .
Ça plane pour moi
The song, first recorded by Plastic Bertrand in 1977, was translated into English and re-recorded in 2007 with the original artist.
criticism
- rockandroad.de (September 12, 2006): “The second album also knows how to convince with a brisk mix of covered songs in BossHoss garb and own songs. The band is present almost everywhere at the moment. Whether in advertising or football, BossHoss songs are often heard. Anyone who has ever attended a boys' concert knows what mood means. Country music is hip in Good Old Germany right now. We are sure that if Germany had entered the Eurovision Song Contest with this group, we would have done better. Rodeo Radio is the definitive soundtrack for this summer. "
- motor.de (June 17, 2009): “'Rodeo Radio' - The Bosshoss saddle up for their second album ride in 2006! And to say that a lot has happened since their debut 'Internashville Urban Hymns' was released would be the greatest possible understatement. With their fast-paced country interpretations of rock, alternative and pop classics, The Bosshoss ensured the steady comeback on all stages and are now heading in the same direction with 'Rodeo Radio'. Because there is still more to do and we don't have enough. This time z. B. spurred Donna Summers 'Hot Stuff', galloped off to the Cardigans 'Favorite Game' and poached six times in their own songwriting stable. "
