On a Mission  (Audio CD) 
by Trick Pony

I saw them in concert this smumer and Keith, Ira and Heidi really know how to put ona show. They mentioned during the concert that they are almost done with their 3rd album. I canot wait to get it. There isn't one song of theirs oneither album that I don;t like. If you want a cd that rocks you should pick up On A Mission and thier 1st album if you do noyt have it yet. Trick Pony rocks!

Another good time album from Heidi and the boys  Aug 16, 2003
This is a reminder of the kind of music with which Highway 101 shook up Nashville in the late eighties, Trick Pony are not quite as good as Paulette and the boys were, but they still have a lot going for them and should not be ignored.

This is their second album and follows the style of the first. Generally, I like them best on the rocking up-tempo songs although there are some fine slow and mid-tempo songs here. As on their debut album, they begin this set with a rocking, drinking song - this time it's On a mission. Among the other highlights is a cover of Whiskey river, on which its originator, Willie Nelson, guests as a duet singer.

On a few songs (Love is a ball, Leaving seems to be the going thing, The devil and me), one of the men sings lead, but the style remains the same. Trick Pony are one of the more exciting contemporary country acts around. Let's hope they are able to deliver a few more albums like their first two.
