Bio
No Depression - November 2005
Making straight-ahead rock isnât rocket science. Itâs breaking into the lab, mixing the contents of a couple test tubes, and trying not to blow shit up. And itâs the kind of science that singer songwriter/drummer Terry Anderson has been excelling at for close to 30 years, with co-starring roles in various North Carolina bands and three strong solo releases to his credit. These days he leads his own Olympic Ass-Kickinâ Team, whose consistently entertaining debut combines the southern-fried Face-isms of the Georgia Satellites, the pile-driving rock of Rockpile, and the scruffy heart of midtempo NRBQâthree reference points that Anderson comes by honestly. He plays with ex-Satellite Dan Baird in the Yayhoos. He frequently writes with former NRBQer Al Anderson (their collaboration âYou Know Meâ shines here. And well, he really likes Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe. When an album sports âFeel A Drunk Cominâ Onâ and âThunderbirdâ (the booze not the car), youâre forgiven for expecting the album-closing âRehabâ to also be a goof. Instead, itâs an intervention cast as a sing-along, with fellow scientists Walter Clevenger and bassist/producer Jack Cornell among those swapping verses.
