Play full-length songs from Message for the Mess Age by NRBQ on your phone, computer and home audio system with Napster. The guitarist, singer and songwriter had been in the lineup since 1974. As for the actual music, no great surprises. Despite the group's reputation as quirky oddballs, they are amazingly consistent and reliable: roots-flavored pop and rock featuring inventive songwriting, sweet hooks and peppy rhythms. For quintessential NRBQ take note of the "Don't Bite the Head"/"Big Dumb Jukebox" double-shot. In just under six minutes the group covers a delirious amount of sonic terrain.

This title became the final studio effort from NRBQ to include Al Anderson (guitar/vocals), marking the conclusion of their 23-year association. The split was ultimately amicable, with Anderson effectively retiring from both the band as well as touring, preferring to mine his considerable songwriting talents in Nashville, TN. Message for the Mess Age includes a baker's dozen of originals - many of which quickly became performance standards - all epitomizing NRBQ's uncanny brand of omni-pop.

NRBQ began in late 1965 as a rehearsal band in the Shively, Kentucky home of brothers Terry and Donn Adams, and appeared on stage for the first time in 1966. Along with drummer Charlie Craig, they made home tapes of their experiments. The first known reference to the band's name can be heard on one of these home tapes, with Donn announcing, "Here they are, the New Rhythm and Blues Quintet!" as though presenting them to a live audience.
