“Their songs hold chromatic twists and wry wordplay, packed into smiley three-minute bundles. ‘High Noon’ combines a best-of with many rarities, suiting a band that’s both crafty and casual.” – The New York Times
high noon (n.) : The most advanced, flourishing, or creative stage or period.
NRBQ n. : An endlessly creative band on a 50-year high that continually amazes and delights its listeners.
There aren’t many bands that have lasted for 50 years, and the list of those still at the top of their creative game is even smaller. High Noon: A 50-Year Retrospective will offer a fascinating look at one of the best. Street date for the set is November 11, 2016.
Over the past half century, NRBQ has proven to be a group of peerless and unique musicians, songwriters and performers, continuing to prove it with each new album and live performance.
Omnivore Recordings will celebrate this legendary band with the release of High Noon: A 50-Year Retrospective consisting of five CDs of classic recordings all carefully remastered along with many rare and previously unissued gems in an attractive package featuring extensive notes and previously unseen photos.
