Sounds Like
THE SONGWRITING VEERS FROM BASIC ROCK AND ROLL TO COUNTRY TO JAZZ. AND NOT THE LAME KIND OF COUNTRY, OR THE LAME KIND OF JAZZ, JUST TO CLEAR THE AIR ABOUT THAT. LOUD ROCK GUITAR ONE MINUTE, IMPRESSIONISTIC BALLADS THE NEXT. ALL ORIGINAL MATERIAL EXCEPT FOR AN OLD JAZZ STANDARD THROWN IN ONCE IN A WHILE. GUITAR SOLOS ARE A BLEND OF TRASHY ROCK AND ROLL, COUNTRY, BLUES, PSYCHEDELIA, SURF, AND BEBOP.
