I wasn't to impressed when I first heard this cd. I felt that it was little to much laidback. But I have to admit that it's gets better the more I listen to it.
I do have some objections in the choosing of the songs. I have heard "Don't explain" and "Gimme that wine" before. I would have prefered songs that weren't recorded before. But apart from that, I like it. My favourites are "Lucky Old Sun", "Wild Women & Po' Boys" and "Mercy Lord Above".
