Well it's FINALLY warming up along the New England coast and John says we're almost done with the CD. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, we'll have the technical capability to upload the new music on our various sites and make them available to you.

Some movement is being made to get the boys "out of the barn," this summer and on to the road but the jury remains out--we'll let you know.

Check out our other websites. Myspace.com/fullmoonrevue, Myspace.com/drredbeard, and Myspace.com/Songwriters.

So, thanks for your continued support and patience and we look forward to hearing from you (once we get the new message board straightened out) and, maybe, seeing you in 2008.

Let's make it great.

THE FULL MOON REVUE

Music from the Heart

HERE'S WHAT SOME FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE FULL MOON REVUE!!!!

Full Moon Revue

Review by Daniel Gewertz

Boston Herald

Talk about following your own star: The Full Moon Revue, a band of South Shore journeymen musicians, is guided by no trend, movement or single aesthetic. As independent as musicians get, they play what they darn well please--Old country-rock is the closest touchstone: Check out the credible take on the New Riders/Ian Tyson beauty ``Last Lonely Eagle.''

The title refers to the 15 years between the band's start and this CD debut. Though strong on stringed instrumental finesse, The Full Moon Revue's songwriting is sometimes sharp (``My Role Now''), sometimes not. But there are several fun songs, and because these veteran pickers are clearly following their dream, there's always enough heart.

LIFE & LEISURE

MUSIC SCENE: Rockin reunion happens once in a blue, er, Full Moon

By JAY N. MILLER

The Patriot Ledger

One of the best country-rock outfits to pop up in recent years comes from the vast prairies, majestic mountains, and wide open spaces of ...Weymouth? Hanover? Pembroke and Hingham?

More proof that music is indeed a universal language is The Full Moon Revue, a sextet based on the South Shore whose debut album "S 'Bout Time'' is as pure a piece of Americana music in all its rootsy glory as anything out of Austin or Nashville.

(Recently) the band played The Beachcomber in Quincy, where a small crowd got to hear some of the most moving and expertly performed country-rock since The Flying Burrito Brothers were helping create the hybrid back in the early 1970s.

The Full Moon Revue you see today is a reunion of the original band that played from 1989-'93. That band was based around the talents of Weymouth songwriter Brian Fay and Texas-born songsmith Jim Larson. But Fay's radio career sent him to Pennsylvania and other mid-Atlantic states, and Larson drifted out of music.

Then in 2001 a fortuitous meeting took place, a few minutes were spent catching up and the duo decided to try playing together again.

Country-rock devotees know that Gram Parsons and The Flying Burrito Brothers, along with Roger McGuinn and The Byrds, virtually created the band's musical genre in the late 1960s and early '70s, fusing traditional country elements and instruments with a rock 'n' roll beat. Over the years it has shifted and expanded, and much of today's Top-40 country, as slick as it is, rides a pretty rockin' beat.

But the practitioners of the real deal, the music that honors the roots without settling for mimicry, most often fall into the category known as Americana. That might include anyone from Lucinda Williams to Dave Alvin to Neko Case. It might also be known as alternative country, outlaw country, honky tonk rock or No Depression music.

One Boston benchmark is The Swinging Steaks, and the Full Moon Revue is in the same general ballpark although the Steaks tend to rock harder. Much of what we heard (at a recent live show) would have fit in easily with the first few albums from The Band, as well.

So far the national radio response has been encouraging, with FMR garnering airplay in more than 40 states.
