pure Southern rock: Lynyrd Skynyrd reincarnated, all three of the guitarists had annoying habit of gripping cigarette in lips continuously while playing – too young to act so depraved plus I saw the Christian cross around Jason\”s neck, appealing accent – they\”re all from Alabama, wasn\”t sure I liked them until they proved their guitar mettle, knew Jason was from Drive-By Truckers but was overcome with joy when they did my favorite song from them about staying true to your roots and not singing with a fake British accent, very enjoyable band, have that country singer knack for telling a story

one of my favorite shows ever, I loved this band and love them still, eerie to see the man with the voice I\”ve heard for so many years, incredible variety in their music from slow country dearths to jumpy punk to plain old rock to quirky indie, but always dark, one of the cleanest most professional sounding bands I\”ve ever seen, I want so badly to sit with him on a porch on the California beach, he\”s a wise man, oh and he was wearing a white hoody with rainbow-colored lines across it because he\”s cool like that and doesn\”t care
