This is a hot album. It's blues for today. I would describe their sound as a blend of Led Zep, Allmans, ZZ Top, Little Feat, Howling Wolf molded with any of today's jam bands. Everytime I would think I had their sound figured out they would throw me a curveball. Very cool stuff.

I should preface this review by saying that I am a fan of the traditional delta style of blues; thus I am predisposed towards liking this album.

With that said, this really is a terrific album, and I would highly recommend it, with a few qualifiers.

First of all, the album can seem rather repetitive given the nature of most of the songs (7/10 written by the same two ancient bluesmen), and at times this can grate on the listener. Given my interest in this kind of blues, I was not bothered by the repetition, because it is so well done. Those not fully converted to this school of music may find it tiresome after the first listen.

Secondly, (this is inherently related to the first qualification), the album is not diverse with regard to the material. There is only one real departure from the old blues music, "K.C. Jones" which presents an interesting story set against a relatively technically proficient blues-country background. The rest could be one extended blues medley; whether this is good or bad is contingent upon the listener.

To summarize, this is an awesome album within a specific, and very defined, discipline. If the listener is not committed to this type of music, most likely he or she will not really enjy this c.d. If the converse is true, get ready for a great debut!

I think it's great that these guys are getting some attention. They're awesome. They put on a great show (even if they're sound equipment is almost unbearably loud). Being a North Mississippi native, it sometimes seems a little unreal that these guys are as well-known as they are. But they're very talented musicians with a fresh (to my generation) sound. BUY THIS ALBUM!

Incredibly talented musicians play a great set mixing southern rock, blues and other influences.

I really wanted to give these guys a chance since I have read such glowing articles about them so I picked this one up. I just don't get it. Yes, some of the guitar work shows musical talent, but that's about it. I think the vocals are terrible with absolutely no soul whatsoever. I also agree with the first reviewer that the drummer plays the same thing on almost every song. Yes, I know, the blues by nature builds itself on repetitive musical themes, but a real blues artist puts out so much raw emotion that the repeitive side of the music never gets boring. these guys just don't have that emotion at all. It's all production and no substance and it gets old really fast.
