Album Notes & Community Reviews

Facing the immense pressure of following their diamond-selling debut, the South Carolina band delivers a notably more subdued, melancholic effort. The record retains Darius Rucker's soulful baritone and their rootsy, acoustic-driven rock, but features significantly darker, more introspective songwriting.
