When I get a new album, the first thing I do is to look at the set list. And if, there's a cover mentioned, this is the first song I listen to. And I must admit, I've been really pleased by this version. It has a more modern sound than the original one, but I really like the guitar work on this tune. Of course, the guitar players play with their own personnality and feeling, but they also incorporate licks from the great Toy Calwell.
The bands cites Molly Hatchet, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Allman Brothers as their main influences, but after the listening of their album, we're closer to Molly Hatchet with the power and the energy, than the other bands.
From my point of view, I'ld have like the mixing to be a bit different, mostly for the bass drum and the bass which sometimes are too much in the front. That is not the case for the ballads, where it seems they work a lot on the sound, which give these songs a great quality.
A band to keep on ear on and to see on stage.
