- THE BOTTLE ROCKETS remain one of the most steel-solid bands amongst the greatest of rural-rock trailblazers. The St. Louis, Missouri outfit long regarded and adored as the workingman's rock band hit a high water mark at this performance recorded in Heilbronn, Germany on July 17, 2005.
"Get Down River," which was featured on the PBS television series "The Mississippi River of Song," is the lead track on their "Leftovers" album. A CD of the concert is available from bottlerocketsmusic.
Festus, where this band is from is my home town. Lived here all my life. Festus used to flood from the Mississippi frequently until better levees were built.
I got turned onto these guys when they moved to Brooklyn in the 90's and released "On the Brooklyn Side" and I've followed them ever since.Rock n' Roll lives with good old fashioned "roots rock." I also love the Drive-by Truckers.
❤Rock it boys !!!
So this is "alternative country". Has some heartland rock influence.
I'm Scottish, working class but can relate to this music entirely. It hits the spot. Please reform Uncle Tupelo!
As A Missouri Hillbilly, my OWN damned self..These guys hit HOME. I would Go back home if THEY were gonna be there.
This spring season has seen the Mississippi, Ohio and all other contributing rivers reaching severely high levels. Two days ago, Louisville, KY had water coming over the landing below Joe's Crab Shack. In mid-March, Natchez, MS saw it's third highest river stage. That same week, Vicksburg, MS had water climbing six feet up the levee wall. In Saint Francisville, White Castle, New Roads and Vacherie, LA all had water only a few feet from cresting over the levees. In Baton Rouge, the USS Kidd was floating near the top of her mooring towers and the city 'Paper clip' dock was only three feet from being underwater.
BINGO! First time I ever heard this band, this is the first song I am hearing and BINGO I immediately know they are great.
Looks like The Gulf of Mexico down by the Texico
Best line of the song
Festus is a Missouri River town - hit by the occational flood - like the great flood of 1993. Great song
Two rivers in my town. Both jumped the banks this morning. So get down river.
Love theses guys. Real music by real people for real fans.
@grifftrain No problem with the nitpicking but the Bottle Rockets did relocate to Brooklyn and they played at the "Coyote Recording Studio" in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 1994 to record "on the Brooklyn Side." They stayed at producer Roscoe Ambel's apartment in Brooklyn. Most recently, the Rockets worked with Ambel at his "Cowboy Technical Services Studio" to record Lean Forward in 2009 - - also located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Wonderful Band from Missouri
This is the sound of true America!!!!
Come on people This is a 5 star song if there is one on YT! Rate it! I don't know austinmayor (except for he has good taste in music).

Big. Venues. Small venues ⚓️💕💕💕💕🍁🍁
The real deal!!
@dennis789111 ...I know this is nitpicking, but I dont think they ever moved to Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Side is a bowling term. They hail from Missouri. I never read anything about them relocating to Brooklyn. Anyway, they are a great group, and Im glad to see you into them. They were part of the "Uncle Tupelo" groups, as were Wilco and son Volt, who are great groups too.
DAMMIT I was looking for 'idiots revenge' !!
Good Gravy!
actually they are from festus missouri (i think its missouri) im related to the singer threw marrige
Sorry about my misinformation. I never knew anything about their connection to Brooklyn
Damn, Brian Henneman does look a lot like Kyle doesn't he?
