    As I wrote back in February, this is a serious Southern rock album. I believe the words were “blistering declaration of intent.”

    I’m going to go as far as calling it a Southern rock manifesto. I will go even further and make comparisons to The Band: in addition to stellar displays of musicianship, it’s hard not to hear Lee Bains and his band’s love of Southern rock. Except these guys are actually from the South.

     
    I’m just going to shut up and let the songs speak for themselves. All I can say is that you owe it yourself to get your hands on this album.
