This CD is really southwest, with a kick of tequila. I recommend this CD to the hardcore edgy country music listeners. Excellent, energetic, unique, you can taste the tequila!!

Find A Way is a great listen. It has only 6 songs, but every one of them counts. The opening track is a real attention getter with paradiddle drums, southwestern style whammy guitar and a driving rhythm section topped with great vocals and lyrics.
The second track, Stays in Mexico is my favorite with a great beat and a story about some risky behavior during a little adventure in Mexico.
Great song. The final cut, Dryheat Breakdown is another winner.
The best $7 purchase you'll make this year. Great job guys! I'll look forward to your next release. Nice lyrics and edgy sounding style of country!

The guitar work is crisp and vocals make sense with a danceable beat. Stay with it boys, you could do very well.. Outstanding harmonys.
