Customer Reviews

Fans of the Allmans and other true music, take heed!
What happened to lyrics that don't hate the world and guitar riffs that are really soulful and ear-catching? They are alive and well, thanks in part to JC. This album is a smooth and inviting listen from beginning to end. I have no idea why this band has not attained the popularity of contemporary groups like Blues Traveler, but hopefully that injustice will be rectified.

A classic debut release by an amazing band
This cd is overflowing with the mischievous charm of 5 young roustabouts from the Carolinas whose voices had practically not even finished changing at the time this was recorded. Yet, to foretell the serious evolution of their writing and performing skills, several of the songs belie the sober contemplation of the poet, Matthew B. Mayes, to whom I ascribe the nickname, "le Bard de Brevard." Matthew's keen insights are filtered through a different prism than most of us will ever view unless we are fortunate to be active listeners of the interplanetary yard dog, Jupiter Coyote. Buy this cd, if only for the song, "Willow," which is one of the greatest jammin' southern rock tunes that meanders seamlessly through teasers of the Doobies, Allmans, Skynyrd, Santana, and the Doors all in one jammin 14 minute tune that starts out melancholy but builds and finishes in a breakneck pace that will leave you breathless.

JC drives one home with their mountain rock!!
This hybrid of rock, blues, jazz, and bluegrass is very addictive. This seemingly odd mixture is not odd at all, but very natural. This album contains straight ahead rockers, funk infested tunes, and down home jams. This album will get into your dailey rotation. Highly recomended.
