After 12 long years, this six piece band of Alabama boys have finally made it into the spotlight. This CD gives us 11 songs of pure country. From a hard country rockin' sounds to gentle flowing melodies that'll pull at your heartstrings and everything in between. Produced by Walt Aldredge, who also wrote or co-wrote 5 of the songs, your gonna like listening to every song.
The guys have also included a remake of Ronnie Milsap's, "No Getting Over Me." A very pleasant surprise for me. Not changing much of anything and honestly, how could you? This song is a classic and they did it proud. The vocals are perfect.
While listening to "Freebird In A Firebird" I couldn't help but to notice the influence Lynryd Skynryd has had on the band. It was more than just the lyrics that mention, "Freebird," the guitar work sounded like pure Skynrd. Maybe this is the song Skynyrd's new guitar player Mark Matejka helped out on? The song is about two old friends that unexpectedly meet-up and talk about days gone by. A great reminder of all the fun we used to have as teenagers.
I really enjoyed this new CD and I look forward to seeing these guys live. Rumor has it they really have a high energy show and if this album is any indication of that, they're gonna be around for awhile. Do your country collection a favor and pick this one up soon.
