They are as good on "record" as they are performing live. This album shows both their musical talents (with guitarist/vocalist Trent Wagler. who wrote the majority of the songs here, singing with somewhat raspy voice) and the other three members filling in on mandolin, fiddle and bass.

I am looking forward to hearing much more of them. |
