| Festus, MO’s Bottle Rockets ranked as one of the leading lights of the |
| 1990s roots rock revival, thanks to a sound that bypassed the punk |
| heritage proudly upheld by most of the band’s contemporaries in favor of |
| a redneck fusion of Southern boogie, country-folk, and crunching rock & |
| roll. The group was fronted by singer/guitarist Brian Henneman, a |
| Missouri native who formed his first band, Waylon Van Halen & the Ernest |
| Tubbadours, in 1977 with friends Tom and Bob Parr. After a succession of |
| names and a steady rise in musical competence, the threesome began |
| landing club dates both locally and in Illinois, where they became |
| friends with the young Jay Farrar and Jeff Tweedy, who would later start |
| Uncle Tupelo. |
| |
| In 1985, the trio was playing straight-ahead honky tonk under the guise |
| Chicken Truck (so named in honor of the John Anderson song) with a new |
| drummer, Mark Ortmann. Instead of giving in to local crowds who wanted |
| to hear covers rather than originals, the bandmembers focused solely on |
| performing their own material, which they began roughing up with a Crazy |
| Horse-like edge. Shortly after frequent tour mates Uncle Tupelo signed a |
| 1990 record deal, however, internal problems led Chicken Truck to |
| disband; while the Parrs returned to civilian jobs, Ortmann moved to |
| Nashville to become a session player, and Henneman became a roadie with |
| Uncle Tupelo, even playing on their March 16-20, 1992 album. |
| |
| During his roadie days, Henneman recorded a demo tape of new material, |
| which Tupelo manager Tony Margherita began discreetly shopping around. |
| After cutting a solo single backed by Farrar and Tweedy, he re-formed |
| his old band, with Ortmann on drums, Tom Ray on guitar, and Robert |
| Kearns on bass, renaming the outfit the Bottle Rockets. After a 1993 |
| self-titled effort, a year later the band issued its second independent |
| LP, The Brooklyn Side, named after a bowling term. A portrait of life in |
| rural, blue-collar America, The Brooklyn Side was the subject of lavish |
| critical praise, and the positive notices led to the band signing with a |
| major label, Atlantic, which promptly reissued the album. |
| |
| Shakeups at the label led to delays in the release of their next album, |
| 1997’s 24 Hours a Day, and when the album sold poorly, the Bottle |
| Rockets were dropped. In 1998, they signed with the small Doolittle |
| label and released an odds-and-ends EP, Leftovers; by the time they |
| completed their next album, 1999’s Brand New Year, the label had gained |
| major-label distribution, but that deal proved to be short-lived, and in |
| 2000 the Bottle Rockets were once again without a label. In 2001, they |
| signed a deal with alt-country trailblazers Bloodshot Records; their |
| first album for the label, a tribute to Doug Sahm, was released early |
| the following year. Tom Ray left the Bottle Rockets in 2002, and the |
| band moved ahead as a three-piece, signing yet another new record deal ù |
| this time with Sanctuary ù in 2003, and releasing a new album, Blue Sky, |
| in the fall of that year. Zoysia arrived on Bloodshot Records in 2006. |
