Come for the Bad Things, stay for The Good Life

"Jace Everett's voice is beautiful and growly; a dark, smoky, rich thunder that makes my face twitch gleefully. Some songs are thick and howly (One of Them), others slow and sensuous (Damned If I Do), and some paint scenes that are simultaneously distant and intimate (The Good Life).
This is what country music is supposed to be.
This is the heat and sweat, the thick air of the south, the bass and beat that filters out into the parking lot of a smoke-filled bar. This is the music of open-windowed road trips in beat-up trucks held together with duct tape and a prayer. This is the illicit love child of religious fervor and heated passions.
This is the good stuff."
