These guys play well and with conviction, but it just ain’t my “thang.” After the first side of this E-I-E-I-O album I had a dilemma. I was really unmotivated to get off the couch to flip it, but I really wanted it to be over. Just then Mary walked in the room, problem solved. So, I got through it, but that’ll be the last time. My beef with this record started early. The first song is “Hey Cecelie.” When he sings it though he pronounces it “Cecelia.” You know, like the Simon and Garfunkel song, except they knew how to spell it, and their song had a rocking percussion break. The sound here I guess can be described as roots rock, with horns. If that sounds like your thing and the title That Love Thang appeals, you may dig it.

Wolfmother to the rescue with some ear cleaning…
