Well, what to expect without The Black Crows? The distinctive Chris Robinson voice is still there, The Grateful Dead vibe is flourishing on an album of seven songs. Don’t fret. most break the 7 minute mark. Opener Tulsa Yesterday coming in over a glorious 11 minutes.
Any Deadhead or Black Crow at a loose end would feel at home here, the muse is vibrant on this record. Yes it could have been released in 1970’s but this just means that’s this record has a spirit about it. Chris’ voice is at its soulful best throughout.
The Allman Brother's star also shines brightly above this record. What began as an experiment without expectations, turned into a 118-date journey for Robinson (lead vocals, guitar), Neal Casal (guitar, vocals), Adam MacDougall (keys, vocals), George Sluppick (drums) and Mark Dutton (bass, vocals).
