Here what's being said about The Rowdy Prairie Dogs
"A great, energized Jakob Dylan backed by the Bottle Rockets!"
"A Beautiful Blur' is a marvelous thing to behold, a testament
to a man who won't let anything steal his lust for life."
"The Revenge of the Rowdy Prairie Dogs"...... "turn it
on and don't worry about a thing for the rest of the hour."
"Pushing Back Midnight would make a great single, a wonderful
slice of country rock meets pop. Dare i say it i like this
album every bit as much as Pure Prairie League’s All In Good
Time."
"Only in America eh, could you come up with such a title for
a Country Rock album, and don't ya just love it Actually the
music's pretty good too. It's a new album from a new country
rock group called....well what else but The Rowdy Prairie Dogs,
with a name like that what else can you do but check it out.
Some great picking on here, and nice pedal steel on "Home Movies".
My copy is ordered and on it's way,i think these guys are gonna
become a country rock favourite, and don't you just love that
cover shot of the Prairie dog out in the street facing the
gunman wearing his cowboy hat and holding his guitar."
"Great album cover as well with the Guitar slinging prairie
dog out in the street facing the gunman, on the back cover
he's walking back down the street with the guitar slung across
his back so i guess he won the duel Cool Very Happy!"
"Had my copy a couple of weeks now and it's fast became a favorite,
this is a really good country rock album that's got everything,
great music, great playing and some really nice harmonies, anyone
that loves Poco or Pure prairie League should check this out.
For me the album of the year along with Old Bulls Manifesto album,
Oh and certainly the best album cover of the year."

Wisconsin State Journal Review by Kevin Lynch - March 2008
Robert J., “A Beautiful Blur” ****(4 Stars) “The Revenge of the Rowdy Prairie Dogs” ***(3 Stars)
(PopBomb Records)
Time for this long-suffering Madison troubadour to get his musical due.
Much has been written recently about his heart attack, but sympathy
doesn’t pay the bills. Amazingly Robert J. released two excellent
album projects amid his struggle. “A Beautiful Blur” is a marvelous
thing to behold, a testament to a man who won’t let anything steal
his lust for life. First one must say, if Bob Dylan had a good voice
that was still his, he might be Robert J. Robert J. has the fuzzy,
intimate quality that’s Dylan’s most appealing trait. But Robert
doesn’t wine, pout or condescend, and he stays on pitch.
True, he’s not that caliber of artist. Robert J. lacks Dylan’s
genius for monumental anger, for one thing. But he takes you
for a fine ride down his own dusty road. There’s also a trace
of Tom Waits’ loose-limbed phrasing, but he never loses the sharp groove.
He’s a guy you’d like to hang with and recollect the “beautiful blur”
of life with an embracing grin. Sure it’s an aging hippie sensibility.
But he wants us to appreciate bygone madness, folly and fear, sadness and ecstasy.
Thanks Robert J., I needed that, all of it.
On “Rebel Domino” he and his band get hot-footin’
at a wonderful clip that feels like the Allman Brothers with
guitarist Dicky Betts in his prime. Robert J’s gifted picker
is Tom Dehlinger. You can’t beat that heart-skipping groove.
“Room With A View” is another delightful mood booster. Such a room,
“without you,” lets him see it all more clearly. It’s a mental viewpoint
more than a pretty view, a great philosophical sigh for healing love wounds.
Most of the kudos for “A Beautiful Blur” could apply to “Revenge of
the Rowdy Prairie Dogs.” It’s a less personal and moving
statement, because you don’t sense as much of his indomitable spirit.
But turn it on and don’t worry about a thing for the rest of the hour.
It opens with another version of “Rebel domino” that’s more hard-rocking
and more countrified, which is the big difference throughout between the
two albums.
Either way, Robert J. has mustered two of the best discs you’ll hear by a Madison
artist this year. He should’ve had a handful of Top 40 hits by now.
Better late than ever? Formulaic radio programming may deny him. But call up your favorite
rock, country or folk station and request him. And be glad you know and
probably love one of Madison’s own beautiful survivors.
