• R.I.D.E., the title of Trick Ponys third album, stands for "Rebellious Individuals Delivering Entertainment." Of course, in 2000s Nashville, rebelling could often mean playing straight-up old-school country while not taking oneself too seriously, two pursuits at which Trick Pony excels. A slice of good-time barroom country rock, R.I.D.E. manages to sound staunchly traditional while never sticking too close to a formula. Primary lead vocalist Heidi Newfield comes off like a bawdy mix of Tanya Tucker, Loretta Lynn, and Mae West, delivering the pure honky-tonk of "Aint Wastin Good Whiskey On You" and the tears-in-your-beer emotion of "When I Fall" with equal panache. Its guitarist Keith Burns, however, who delivers the records most accessible song with "Sad City," which features a guest vocal from Hootie & The Blowfishs Darius Rucker. A mix of sawdust, sweat, and jumbotron-ready party spirit, this R.I.D.E. is guaranteed to be a wild one.
