When I first heard this, I thought this guy sounded a lttle too raw, almost amaturish. I was dead nuts wrong! This disc grew on me where I kept wanting to hear it again 'cause I thought I might be missing something. It's one those disc's that takes a few listens, but the payoff's well worth it. Sounds a little like Tim Carroll, a little like Kevin Gordon, but he's got his own style too. Roots rock with a little bit of everything else thrown in. Excellent.
