With his big-as-the-room persona, the ability to rock the doors off the most jaded of clubs and the genius for arrangement they display on the stage and previous records, you would be forgiven for thinking that Bobby and his band of merry makers have the musical focus of a laser beam. They are, however, at the mercy of the muse at the head of their musical leash. And make no mistake about it, she is a rambunctious, freewheeling, unfettered, and, at times, unhinged little beast.

"Alt country as it should be, and so rarely is: Stax horn charts, Sticky Fingers desperation, and get-in-the-van punk immediacy, nailed by an unruly son of Nashville who used to front a twangy grunge band." -- Alex Pappademas, SPIN
