Tra blues, ropck e southern rock, il debutto di una super formazione con il lap steel guitar master Damon Fowler, il chitarrista extraordinaire JP Soars, ed il funambolico pianista Victor Wainwright. Tra sonorità Muscle Shoals ed echi del sound di Macon, Georgia, questa nuova formazione ( rivelatasi al New Orleans Heritage Festival dello scorso anno ) mischia Southern soul, blues e musica rock nel tentativo ( riuscito ) di creare una nuova versione del suono Americana mischiata a radici sudiste. Il tutto riletto e suonato con una sensibilità molto attuale.
