0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

This Atlanta band delivers a boogie woogie southern rock venture on "The Whippoorwill". The band has toured with the likes of Skynyrd and ZZ Top and is signed by Zac Brown's Southern Ground label. I saw the band live in 2011 and was impressed with the level of energy and talent. It is more of the same here but more streamlined with a good dose of piano. The record strattles southern rock but has too many feet swinging towards mainstream country.
