The latest album from this Galaxie Rising Star Award winner is a bunch of folk-roots tracks that are as poignant as they are heartfelt. There are no gimmicks or studio trickery here, just good old-fashioned musical talent that combine soaring three-part harmonies, a host of instruments and storytelling to create an end result that emotes and entertains. The collective is at its best when it gets down with its folk-rock stompers, as on "I Was a Young Man's Son" and "Make the Same Mistakes." Each track tackles a facet of life, from joys to sorrows, with a fresh take that avoids cliched pitfalls and keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.
