 ------- AMG Album Reviews -------
 Known for their rootsy rock sound the BoDeans were one of the original
 jangly guitar bands ... they aim for a more commercial sound.... All
 is not lost; Kurt Neumann and Sam Llanas remain good songwriters, and
 redeeming material like "Good Things" and "Forever on My Mind" save
 this disc from drowning in mainstream sound. ~ Sheryl Hunter, Rock &
 Roll Disc.


 After moderate sales on their first three albums threatened to forever
 classify them as an alternative band, BoDeans started tackling bigger
 themes on BLACK AND WHITE, produced by Prince sideman David Z. The
 band hardly sounds like the roots-oriented band of their previous
 efforts, Sam Llanas and Kurt Neumann sound more ambitious as
 songwriters. So "Black, White and Blood Red" is about more than race,
 the same way the anthemic "Naked" is about more than sex, the same way
 the hooky "Good Things" is about more than some guy who can't meet a
 girl. BLACK AND WHITE is about using individual problems as analogies
 to social ones. It's also about loneless and hardship. It also didn't
 sell that much better (if any) than the first albums. ~ Brian
 Mansfield

 ------- AMG Album Reviews -------
 On this debut album, Llanas and Neumann are at their best on songs
 like "Fadeaway," where their sweet-and-sour harmonizing rules over a
 bouncing rock arrangement full of twangy guitars. There is just enough
 fidelity to basic rock & roll, and the right number of individual
 twists to mark the group's considerable promise. ~ William Ruhlmann
