Class Out The Ass
Rum Bar, 2025
9/10
The versatile and animated singer, Miss Georgia Peach, returns with a sophomore album, where plenty of classic country ideas from the ‘50s through the ‘70s are present alongside a large cast of players.
“Shut Up And Drink Your Beer” opens with a twang filled climate that’s also got some punk energy via Ruyter Suys’ driving guitar and Travis Ramin’s rowdy drumming, and “Baby Ride Easy” follows with Earl Crimm’s warm acoustic guitar and Mark Hendricks’ bouncy bass that suits Peach’s flowing pipes.
Landing closer to the middle, “Who Throwed Dat Rock” will get you on the dance floor thanks to A.J. Srubas’ well timed pedal steel, while “You’re The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly” uses Scott Luallen’s distinct voice for the heartfelt yet comical delivery.
Further still, “Some Of Shelly’s Blues” is a more intimate moment that benefits from Sruba’s stirring fiddle and Suys’ meticulous mandolins, and “Luxury Liner” exits with a swift rural rocker that’s detailed yet reckless.
An ideal listen for fans of Southern sounds, dive bar rock and both outlaw country and honky tonk fun, Peach has plenty of attitude and is armed with an infectious voice across the old school flavor of a really sassy record.
