About Me |

| What the Press is Saying "Backyard Tire Fire is great Roots/Americana rock n' roll. Equate the sound to how you feel when go to your nearest smokey bar, light a cigarette, order a bucket, kick back and kinda feel like you don't give a fuck. In other words, it's a real good feeling you get listening to these guys." - Dodge, My Old Kentucky Blog "23rd best album of 2007 - "Drive By Who? BTF elbows their way into the Southern Alt-country spectrum with this fine cd" - Clyde, Radio Cure Blog "What matters is good music, and on that point Backyard Tire Fire delivers big time. What they also deliver is a sound that is firmly rooted in the rich history of American music - rock 'n' roll, R&B, country, and folk to name but a few - while still being fresh and original." - Chris Holmes, Blog Critics "8 out of 10 stars - Backyard Tire Fire is a band so unique, distinct, amazing and talented." - Evan Sawdey , Pop Matters "By successfully working the borders and diving into country, blues, Southern rock and indie-rock and finding their commonality, Backyard Tire Fire has found something fresh and new within each one. " - David Schultz , Earvolution Blog "Vagabonds and Hooligans, is a career maker - a confident, shining example of songcraft at its finest akin to Randy Newman's 12 Songs, Drive-By Trucker's Decoration Day, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's Damn The Torpedoes. Played again and again, Vagabonds and Hooligans only grows in depth and charm." - Dennis Cook, JamBase "Ed Anderson can turn a lyrical phrase and a musical passage with the originality and authority of Neil Young, Jeff Tweedy, Jay Farrar and Gary Louris but, just as importantly, he writes songs that transcend any comparisons to his alt.country peer group." - Brian Baker, Amplifier .:.::.::.::.::.::.::.::..:.::.::.::.::.::.::.::..:.::.::.::. ::.::.::.::..:.::.::.::.::.::.
