    The legendary guitarist-turned-frontman leads his mates through supercharged honky-tonk (“Brigitte Bardot”), headbangers (“Cheap Talk”, “External Combustion”) and a ZZ Top-style tailfin rave-up (“Lightning Boogie”).

    It's handsomely crafted classic rock played with flair, wit, and precision, elements that make familiar tropes seem fresh.

    The speedometer doesn't quite reach the heights of Wreckless Abandon but a consistent buzz keeps the Heartbreakers spirit alive and kicking. [May 2022, p.82]
