I'm not especially familiar with the Josh Abbott Band, though I loved "Oh, Tonight," but this review definitely makes me curious to hear the album. I think I will have to give this one a listen.

The scene in Texas has always been based more on the live performance than in other places. Go see them live you'll see what I mean. The songs on this and the last album are works in progress but as a writer I suspect the maturation process will continue for Josh. They deliver live and are an excellent draw on the Texas Red Dirt circuit and more and more are expanding nationally.
