On their second full length studio recording, the Band of Heathens follow up their chart topping self titled release with a rocking collection of songs echoing the greats from Dylan to Waits, Townes Van Zandt to Otis Redding.. While the last Heathens album may have been slightly more acoustic and swampier, this album is a bit heavier, both thematically and sonically. It's muscular with electric guitars, Hammond organs, vintage electric pianos, and pill-bottle slides, all fine ingredients for rock 'n' roll in its purest form.
