    A Doug Sahm/CCR vibe runs through much of this debut. [Jun 2015, p.71]

    A winning debut jam-packed with raucous outlaw energy.

    This is a strong album with a lot of swagger, backed up by good playing and powerful singing.

    Give ‘em credit for self-composing every track on this initial fist to the face offering even if there isn’t much originality to the sound. There is however sufficient raw blues and restraint in rugged ballads such as “No Good” and “Old Ways” to throw Joplin in as a logical touch point.
