The Gourds’ new album ‘Old Mad Joy,’ which was produced by Larry Campbell at Levon Helm Studios, has netted them a plentiful harvest of stellar reviews:
"Their junkyard sound crisscrosses the roots-music spectrum with a whacked-out, independent spirit."
– New York Times
“It's impossible not to sing and clap along to this opening track from the Austin quintet's Old Mad Joy album.”
– USA Today
“[‘Old Mad Joy’] will get your hips shaking and your mind quaking all night long.”
– Spinner
“One special release [that] should end up on every critic's year-end ‘best of’ list.”
- Huffington Post
“Great… You want a modern day ‘Big Pink,’ you say? I got it right here, my friend. ‘Old Mad Joy’ is one of those albums that’s new to your ears but known to your soul.”
- Jambands.com
“Their ability to deliver a relentless rocker or wring out tears from a heartfelt ballad is beyond reproach.”
- Blurt Magazine
“I Want It So Bad could describe my feelings about ‘Old Mad Joy.’”
– My Old Kentucky Blog
“If the Gourds could bottle the music and sell it at the drug store, the corporations who manufacture the endless supply of happy pills would all go out of business.” – Houston Press
