Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the first album in their massive, decades-long history to consist entirely of cover songs, 'Turning to Crime' finds the hard rock pioneers in a remarkably loose and energetic mood. The band tackles classic tracks originally performed by artists like Fleetwood Mac, Bob Dylan, and The Yardbirds, filtering them through their signature Hammond organ and heavy guitar interplay. The project functions as an affectionate, high-spirited homage to their foundational rock and roll influences.
