With a jingle of tambourine we get a likely candidate for album of the year – simple as. There is absolutely nothing, and I do mean nothing not to like. With a band comprised of Ryan’s Cardinals, alongside players from Patti Griffin and John Hiatt you’d expect nothing less. It’s the good bits of Dylan for sure, and Mellancamp – even bits of Lennon. There is an undercurrent of Petty in places, mostly it is just the best thing I’ve heard in a while.
