    Good effort but sometimes that isn't enough. Like soup that lacks salt this edition could use some flavor beyond the basic recipe. You know, twist a bit harder, feel the burn as you go. Not an impact maker.

    With expectations tempered for Forgiven, the sibling trio from Texas doesn't panic but rather retrenches, returning to the easy-grooving, harmony-laden Carlos Santana-meets-Stevie Ray Vaughan feel of its first album.

    Its penitent but hopeful mood still suggests a Catholic equivalent of corporate Christian rock

    The ho-hum tunes on Forgiven won't flip your wig, but the playing-- particularly in the three cuts featuring Dr. John on the keys--oozes bone-deep feeling throughout.
