About a minute in and all of a sudden, "Ring Sweet Mercy," I feel like making love… It's good ol' fashioned Rock n' Roll -- a little on the southern fried side.  Blue-tinted and corn-fed, the stable doors have swung open and out flies this Tricky Woo, steadfast and ready to run free in the fields. These Rock and Roll all-star sound-alikes with the unusual name go heavy on the stack, smoke 'em while they got 'em and reel off some serious two-booted guitar kick in the finest yesterday tradition… But hold your wild horses a minute lest you think we're on the way to filling your bong with another of the usual-minded Stoner junkies. They're all well and good but we're going back even a year or two further to the summer of '69. 

I'm getting a solid dose from the likes of Santana -- see "6 Cats and a Podium" and "Lonesome Road" for starters, with a little Dylan, Cocker and the 'Crowes thrown in the mix to make for an organically-inclined roots-rockin' jam session peel out that finds the late sixties/early seventies exploding back to the future quicker than you can say smokestack lightning… I mean right out of sleeve, it's LP madness with nary a scratch in sight!
