​Gasoline Lollipops (from the album All the Misery Money Can Buy available as a self-release)
The sound of All the Misery Money Can Buy is a melting pot of Roots sounds from the Rock’n’Soul of “Get Up!” to the swamp dark grooves and tones in the title track. Gasoline Lollipops spin the sound wheel, offering jangly Alt County (“Flesh and Bone”), somber Blues Gospel Rock (“Dying Young”), raucous honky tonk Country Rock’n’Roll (“Bound for Glory”), and Country Folk (“Gypsy”). Frontman and Gasoline Lollipops songwriter Clay Rose explains the reasons on not fitting in with pride, recalling that ‘for so long I thought we had to have a genre. At first it was a cow-punk band, then I needed a rock band, then a folk rock band, then I needed a country band, then I needed an Americana band. But I guess coloring inside the lines is not in my cards.’
 
Chopped chords and solid backbeat put a funky step underneath the politics of modern-day America in “Lady Liberty” while a rolling rhythm sways “Taking Time” and an Americana lovers knot ties tighter in the head of the man looking to catch a lift out of feeling lowdown with “Train to Ride”. A traditional African American spiritual, “Sinnerman” stretches out in the hands of Gasoline Lollipops, the music building and boiling as All the Misery Money Can Buy uses its groove to exit the album.
