This band is among the absolutely best newer bands that has emerged no matter what musical style we're talking about! They play a blend of country, rock'n'roll, blues, r&b and so on and it never gets a hard rocking edge like for example Black Stone Cherry or Lynyrd Skynyrd, instead there's a great melodic mellowness to it and fantastic singing accompaning the absolutely great songs. It's Southern Rock at it's absolutely best! Buy and enjoy!
This album reached the american country (8), indie (10), rock (12) and overall (40) charts.

3)Everbody know she's mine (8,5) Super groovy and heavy slow southern rocker with great guitar- and piano playing.
4)One horse town (9,0) An absolutely wonderful melodic low key rocker!
5)Ain't much left of me (7,5)
6)The whippoorwill (8,5) Another great soulful calm song, almost ballad-like. Such a feeling in playing and singing!
7)Lucky seven (7,0)
8)Leave a scar (8,0) Rock'n'roll!

11)Sleeping dogs (8,5) Great!
12)Shakin' hands with the holy ghost (8,5) Simple riff, exciting bridge, good refrain, great vocals and guitar solo and it rocks like hell!
