    Just got their debut album 'Broken Side of Time' and I'm totally amazed by them. Sounds to me like they're influenced by the Black Crowes & early Neil Young. :mrgreen:

    Their new album is much different that The Thief and the Heartbreaker, but both are very good. I have been listening to them for a good 6 months and was impressed with their set at ACL.

    I personally think that the album is far superior to the EP, but that's just me :) I really recommend to everyone on this forum to give it a couple listens. You might just fall in love with their sound!

    I have been dropping their name to about everyone i know. I think their album is awesome & i cant wait to see them live. They remind me of my morning jacket & once my ears heard them i was hooked. I think they are opening for Dave and Them Crooked Vultures, but not sure where else.

    I too saw them open for BHR7...bought the album for $5 at their merch table. Very impressed. Cool cats too, as we chatted with them after their set. Here's a photo of my wife & I with the guitarist and lead singer.

    I caught them twice in 2010 on their co-headlining tour with Dead Confederate (another excellent band) and they were great. "Broken Side of Time" is a keeper.

    So, bumping an old thread... I just saw these guys at Ottawa Bluesfest and they absolutely blew me away. Much better than last time I saw them, just a great set. Check 'em out guys!
