    Finley applies versatile pipes and stinging licks to extraordinary songs of broad experience. [Dec 2023, p.79]

    The lyrics are wryly humorous, the music gritty and steamy. There isn't a dull moment here. Get it.

    Auerbach and Finley stick closely to the format of Sharecropper’s Son – a mix of raw blues, gospel, soul, and funk. This one does feel a tad more personal and musically more on the swampy side, weighted that way by “Alligator Bait,” as memorable a story as you’ll hear, where Finley’s anger seeps through convincingly.
