This Texas 5-piece are Greebo rockers who are proud to declare that they sing about what they know. This effectively means plenty of songs about whiskey and women but not a lot else.
The points of reference are the obvious Southern Rock staples like Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band but they also name check Led Zeppelin's 'When The Levee Breaks' on the title track and filch the riff from Heartbreaker onHard Row To Hoe.
This album was first released in February 2014 and is their third release in the States but their first in the UK. The no frills quality will doubtless gain some British fans despite, or maybe because of, the fact that references to red clay Hills, old dirt roads, lost highways, cripple creeks and tall pine trees are quintessentially American.

Subtlety is not their strong point, however and whilst the 12 tracks and one hour playing time is value for money it gets a bit tiresome well before you get to the two bonus acoustic tunes
There was a time when all hard rock seemed destined to sound like this but now it seems lost in a time warp.
