In 2001 with a new rhythm section (Don McAualay on drums and Matt Sharff on bass). and with two solid years of gigging. Ware River Club went into Longview Recording Studio to record their Sophmore release “Don’t Take It Easy”.

The album starts with a full throttle rocker (Knock on Wood) and ends with a slow build ballad (Bed). With all founding members contributing songs. “Don’t Take It Easy” was praised for capturing a band in their peak moment of synergy.

With Don't Take It Easy, Ware River Club concocts a stormy, euphoric brand of roots rock bolstered by alternately ringing and barbed-wire guitars and Matt Hebert's delightfully hoarse pipes. The group throws down the gauntlet on the roots rock idiom with this release. And one would have to look to the cream of the alt-roots rock crop -- folks such as the Bottle Rockets and the V-Roys -- to find an album that rocks alongside this one. (But let's pause to acknowledge that very few bands are making albums such as this in -- least of all those two aforementioned, defunct units.) "Burn," which is also the first single from the album, is a veritable call to arms, distilling the greatest elements of top-notch roots rock into four searing minutes. The track is as melodic as it is aggressive, with fat, whiplash guitars muscling up against Hebert's emotive and smoky vocals. This is an admirable effort that rocks from top to bottom.


25 Years Later the band (who get together every time they are all in the same State) Couldn’t be more excited to get at this one again.
