the music was so melodic that listeners were reminded just how great rock could be.
CD titles and songwriting that make up The Samples musical journey are as emotional and pure as the first Colorado snow. Titles such as The Samples self the titled Blue CD, Underwater People, The Last Drag, Autopilot, No Room, Here and Somewhere Else, Outpost, The Tan Mule, Light House Rocket, Transmissions from the Sea of Tranquility, Sparta, Landing On The Sidewalk, Return To Earth, Anthology In Motion, Seventeen (CD and DVD) and the most recent Black and White, unpretentiously captivate the listener.
Word spread, and 2004’s equally good Black and White enlarged the cult. As with R.E.M in the late ‘80s, one senses that The Samples could be not just a distinctive band but the rare distinctive band that is also popular. |
