Opening with Lint Redux , you are immediately in the middle of a swampy blues with modern effects.

Giles Corey on slide gives the track great grease and Green's harp work is strong.

This track has a solid melody and strong vocals by Wyze make it a radio contender. Folk blues track, Soul On The Road is a well constructed, story teller song with Wyze accompanied by Cary Hudson on acoustic guitar and slide. Wyze's vocals are clear and intriguing and Hudson's slide work nice placed and engaging. Money Spent Blues is a cool shuffle with strong lead vocals and Deaton on guitar and Kuhn on piano taking a nice spin. Blues rocker, Looking For My Baby is one of my favorite tracks on the release is a great melody, and strong bottom by Holder and Murphy. A standout solo by Brad Guin really hits the spot highl...
