Opening with soulful, NTRO , Nate Robinson on bass and Gino Iglehart on drums set a solid foundation, with Corey Lacy building on keys and lush guitar work by Zac Harmon and Kingston Livingston really setting the bar.

His riffs roll off of his fingertips like water pushed along nicely by Cordew on piano. Title track, Mustang Blues , has a funky R&B feel along the lines of Mustang Sally or Poke Salad Annie.
