Album Notes & Community Reviews

Memphis garage-rock luminary Greg Cartwright leads his ensemble through a gritty, deeply soulful set of rock and roll tracks on their fifth studio album. Fusing the raw, fuzz-laden energy of early punk with classic rhythm and blues song structures, the record highlights Cartwright's raspy, emotive vocal delivery. It is a masterful, retro-styled showcase of authentic American roots-punk.
