Band leader Joe Firstman is originally from North Carolina and began his musical journey as a solo artist.
Here he gets serious and fronts a tightly-knit five piece band that boasts "triple-stacked harmonies, southern story telling and cosmic country twang".
Recorded live in the studio in Nashville there's an unmistakable Grateful Dead vibe to the record, although mercifully without the extended self-indulgent jamming.
Saloon bar keyboards, plus guitar solos complete with mellow slide create a laid back and melodic mood that is unapologetically retro.
This is strictly one for ragged, bearded greasers who never iron their jeans.
