These are songs of forgotten towns, loves gone wrong, and cross-eyed, all-night benders. The music puts you right there: all the roads look the same, the air is bone-dry, the sun bakes through the open ragtop of your convertable ‘79 Cadillac Eldorado, and you can almost taste the stale beer in the shanty saloon on the dusty, cactus-ridden roadside. It’s an easy place to get lost. But with the right guidance from Bartenders Bible, the road to musical salvation is closer than you think.
...."A shit-kicking country band that plays it like it should. Their singer, Jason, looks like he's either going to drink you under the table or bury your body in the desert. Country done the way Merle and Mr. Cash intended it to be done."
