Album Notes & Community Reviews

Jettisoning much of their earlier regional myth-making, the veteran Southern rock outfit delivers their most overtly political and sociologically direct record to date. The lyrical focus confronts America's racial violence, gun culture, and deeply entrenched cultural divides with gritty, twin-guitar urgency.
