Patti Griffith's lyrics have always been strong, but they might be the strongest ever on this one. The variety of the musical influences here, in her (almost) post-Buddy Miller period, are also outstanding, and lend greater oomph to the recording. To be honest, I'm still listening and finding stuff in here I like. It grows, and that's good.

What's great about it: lyrically this is maybe Griffin's best. Musically, it is greatly varied
These are of course recognizable tunes, what an earlier generation would call chestnuts, from the early 70s. But with Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket, Bob Seger and of course Fogerty at the helm, they're a rocket ship, still vibrant and exciting. In terms of a new rock and roll album, this is probably the best listen my ears have had so far this year.
