This Michigan band conjure an authentic brand of country music, polished and well recorded. The lilting, waltz-time cadence of “Magic Answer,” with its deep guitar tone and ideal amount of twang, sets the stage for lead singer Big Jake (“Ain’t no magic answer written in the stars”) whose delivery shows he’s a natural. The band really gels on “Wildcat Mountain, a catchy, upbeat country-rocker with strong lyrics that shows heritage and tradition. The engineers give Jake a deep pool of reverb on the sad, lilting “Broadway Blues”(“Lonely is a dyin’ fire’s last dyin’ spark.”) As good as these guys are already, there’s still room to maybe add a female background vocal or a fiddle break here and there.
