Cyrano de Berger's Back

The sixth album by X, See How We Are is a mixture of fast, punk rock with a flow of mellow alternative rock.  If that mix were to make sense to you, you know what I mean.  X is a band that's been around since 1977 and to this day they still tour.  I find it incredibly entertaining when a band with that track record can tour and still play, though I'm sure Exene has had some healthy issues that has prevented her from touring.  I remember last year, they were supposed to make an appearance at Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin or was it Austin City Limits Music Festival.  I forget which one, but it would've been pretty awesome to see them live. A great song on this record is Cyrano de Berger's Back and I love Exene's voice along with the more than stellar guitar playing.  A nice record to have playing when you're in a laid back mood.

Enjoy!
