The new CD, "Last Man Standing," is a progression from Ryan
Shupe & The Rubberbands previous albums. "I think the album is
more rocking this time around," explains Shupe. "If you heard the
last album, you would notice a progression, but it's pretty much
in line with what our fans have come to love about us. Nobody's
going to hear it and go `that doesn't sound like them, but it's
a different direction than the last album. You're going to want
to turn it up a little bit more in your car!"
The band produced the new CD and reunited with Deere, who
co-produced three of the tracks. Known for their live show and
spontaneous, creative jams, the group wanted to balance that
unbridled energy out a bit with some radio-friendly songs that
were fine-tuned in the studio. With songs like the catchy "Don't
Leave Me Lonely," and the optimistically ambitious title track,
there's no question that the band hasn't changed their essence
or core, but merely expanded into bigger territory musically.
Tunes like the swayingly beautiful "All I Need," (a love song
penned by Ryan for his wife,) and the inspiring "10,000
Lakes," with its encouraging wisdom, ("Give me eyes to see, to
perceive, to believe, to imagine the possibilities) show a more
serene side of the band, though they soon crank things back
up to a fever pitch and return to their glorious picking on
songs like the feisty rocker "My Life," and the sunny "Be
The One." And the album's closer, the hilariously retro ode to
everyone's favorite junk food, "Corn Dogs," feels like a trip
to the county fair and reveals Ryan and his brood haven't lost
their sense of humor amidst all that serious musical talent.
The CD offers something for everyone, which is just what the
band has in mind when it steps into the studio to capture
their own particular brand of magic on tape. And Shupe feels
it should please both ends of their broad spectrum of fans,
from those who just like to tap their toes to some great
picking and fiddling, to those who appreciate the more
sophisticated elements to the group's musical endeavors.
"I think it does both, really," says Shupe. "It's a musician's
music, but it's also for people who want a good tune. That's
kind of the beauty of our band, I think. If you're a musician
you like it, because it has complex arrangements and things
that are different than what's out there, because we're pushing
the boundaries a little bit, and doing a rock country hybrid
with banjo and fiddle and stuff. But you're still getting the
songs that you'd like to hear played on the radio. I think we
are able to be a great band live, yet also have solid songs
people can relate to and enjoy. I want us to have songs that
are great and mean something to people. We think it is the
best sounding album we have to date."
