Album Notes & Community Reviews

This sprawling collective, fronted by the powerful vocals of Tracy Nelson, masterfully blends Texas blues grit with the nascent country-rock aesthetic. Recorded partially in Nashville, the record features extensive horn charts and captures a vital synthesis of urban R&B and rural traditionalism.
