BoDeans Biography
by Mark Deming
Emerging from the roots rock movement of the 1980s, the BoDeans scored a hit with 1993's "Closer to Free" and maintained their heartland sensibilities for decades to come. The push and pull between Sam Llanas' gritty tenor and acoustic guitar and Kurt Neumann's smoother, bolder voice and punchy electric leads dominated their 1986 debut album, Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams. While a greater pop sensibility informed 1989's Home and 1993's Go Slow Down, the passionate core of their songs remained secure. In the 2000s, the BoDeans stepped away from major labels and continued at their own pace, releasing discs including 2010's Mr. Sad Clown. Following Llanas' departure, the band endured, with 2015's I Can't Stop and 2022's 4 the Last Time offering mature variations on their time-honored themes.
