I really don't mind this. I'm hearing a classic Canadiana sound - blatantly rock n'
roll, blue jeans, a little country. The vocals are powerful and gritty, the mix is
vibrant and alive. I really like it. Like drag-racing through dusty fields in
Alberta. Balladry even in the title "Asleep at the Wheel" track. Quite nice. Like
these guys should tour with Blue Rodeo or Tom Cochrane or something. You can
envision a stage full of a dozen guest musicians singing along and playing
tambourines and stuff. Or maybe something more akin to Woodstock.
Song of choice :
"Bad Habits" - there's an instrumental bit at the end i really dig.
-Andy Scheffler
