This release is live and gives The Bush League a chance to stretch out a bit and I think that it pays off in spades.

Real nice! Bringing the pace (but not the heat) down, Show You Off has has a real nice swagger with a woven tapestry of guitar, drums and bass carrying the vocals on a chariot. With an increase in intensity as the track grows, the band is really getting the crowd sweaty. Lowell Folsom's Tramp , one of the great underrated tracks of our time fits nicely into the set.
