DRB suffered less air-play for all subsequent releases on country stations after this video. Some DJ's thought they were a rock band whose success as the leaders of the 80's New Country mocked traditional Country Music. Yet, their individual roots are Bluegrass. The Desert Rose Band is a synthesis of Rock and Country. In 1994, Country DJ's preferred "Achy Breaky Heart" over DRB's "What About Love". Judge for yourself which has stood the test of time.
Achy Breaky Heart is just a piece of fluff. One of the precursors to what is called country music today (but it's not). This music they try to pass off for country music today is just politically correct drivel.
I worked as an FX editor for Casey Kasem on AT 40 when this came out...Totally MTV-style 90's music video....how many cuts can one put into a 60 frame sequence..LOL..LOVE the DRB
My top favorite country band ever! My childhood was hearing these guys on my radio! This song here definitely has an borderline rock feel to it but still has that DRB sound!
Most underrated band ever. Nobody could touch them. But they always got beat out by bands playing three chords singing picking and grinning and pick up trucks.
without a doubt...the best band of the genre! No one was better than these guys and this video doesn't even tell the half of it. Every song they did left you wanting more! Thanks so much for posting this! It's so hard to believe its been TWENTY years!
Cataclysmic Fantasy and Wonder. Desert Rose Band. My heart beats out of my chest listening to this song (all their songs). I hope they will make a special tour to New Jersey. I'll mortgage the house if I have to.
@Mr308winmag I agree, my brother. That's definitely 1 of the 10 Commandments. 'You shall not take the Lord's Name in vain. Thanx for bein' with me 'bout that cussin' and swearin'. It doesn't belong here on RU-vid. Not now, not ever. God bless!
