how the heck did this one make the US country charts, its not country, but then again I guess Taylor's "red" and "1989" did so who am I to criticise the music buying public!
this is their fourth album, id not heard of these guys until I randomly picked this one to play as a new release earlier in the year...
its what I would call rock/alt rock/Americana.
I hear Tom Petty, John Fogerty, John Cougar Mellencamp and Lynyrd Skynard through this one, I guess those artists border country sometimes with their music so
maybe it does fit there...
good bar room rock and roll on this one, love the vocalist's voice and the sometimes raunchy guitar work on the more guitar driven songs....
my favourite track here just so happens to have a country tinge to it and I found a great live clip for it....
all up, a fine album from these guys.
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
worst track: Randolph County farewell
best track: lay it all on me
