This band is great, so why doesn't the world know it?

"I play "Downtown Saturday" and "Lit Up from the Inside" all of the time, so Adam Reichmann's comments about wanting to go beyond Americana were a concern, but I shouldn't have been worried. This is another great CD. The new sound substitutes some retro-ish pop instrumentals for the more country flavor of the other albums, but I can't imagine fans being disappointed. The songwriting remains strong, and the overall sound, achieved by recording on older, analog equipment, works. The opening cut is a bit misleading, so please don't stop there--it'll grow on you in time, anyway. Friends, this is just a damned fine albut that you can play and play and play, thinking all the time about how privileged you are to be doing something other than listening to the over-hyped garbage being spewed by your local Clear Channel outlet."
