This act out of Colorado really has crafted a sound that has its roots and textures set in old-school, classic, musical zones. Yet, they bring a freshness and vitality to it. As you might expect, there is a lot of soul in the mix here, but that is nowhere near the end of the equation. You get funk, blues, rock and roll and even some country in the mix. This is not incredibly unique, but it is exceptionally well done and compelling. I know I tend to be more of a progressive rock and heavy metal guy, but this set might make my list of best albums of 2021 by the time the year is over. It's that good, really.

Roots rock with a country edge brings this tune into being. The cut has a great vibe and energy. There is a soulful edge to it, too.

Cool rock and roll screams out of the gate. This has a great energy and killer guitar sound. It's high energy and fun. There is a bit of Bob Dylan to this somehow, along with some Georgia Satellites.

A stripped back arrangement serves as the backdrop as this number works out. It's very retro and soulful. I love the multilayered vocal arrangement, and the slow groove is really augmented by the organ sound early. It gradually gets more rocking as they continue on the path forward.

The funky concept on this piece works so well. I dig the guitar work on the tune, and the backing vocals lend some real magic.

The organ solo on this tasty soulful tune is so classy.
