    2017 could be the perfect time for Alabama 3 to bust out of their long-surviving cult status. This is the LP to do it.

    The album pushes an inspired blues-hued blend of their irreverent moonshine gospel romps--‘Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition’ sings Love on Exodus (Movement Of War People)--comedown confessionals (Nothing To Lose But Your Chains) and gutbucket reflection (Rattlesnake Woman), all crucially spiked with the blackest humour.

    10 tight tunes of heart, soul and intricate craftsmanship. [Dec 2016, p.105]

    This experimentation, however, works best when the blues is still used as a point of reference, to give grounding to their work.

    Alabama 3 are at their best when they let go, embrace the fact that they’ve successfully sustained their eclectic sound and bizarre personas for over 20 years, and lose themselves to their own warped version of the blues.
