The debut album by this most unpredictable of bands has impressed me in places and left me puzzled in others. Here is the sound of an act who can't decide who they want to be. "Get On Down" could be classic Quo yet some of the others could be straight off a roots record. Crosby, Stills and Nash the press release says and, in this case, the press release sure isn't lying.
A journey of peaks and troughs, I'd recommend this to any schizophrenic music fan in an equal sense of confusion about their influences. Still, some good vocals and tight musicianship make up for the rather compilation album nature of the album and, for a debut, I've got to consider this promising.
Not great by any means, but not bad either.
