Album Notes & Community Reviews

Culled from prolific recording sessions dating back to 2006, this expansive double album finds the alt-country pioneer exploring straight-ahead 1980s alternative and college rock. The incredibly loose, energetic performances capture the raw, live-in-the-studio chemistry between Adams and his celebrated backing band, The Cardinals.
