The Way it Is
How is this the first album by these guys? Yo, Jason, if you and the Scorchers sounded more Ivan-Reitman-Movie-Score-Quality like this you might have had more success. This is not an admonition of J&tS, just an observation that the world WAS ready for this sound.
I wasn’t. I still wanted my roots rock to have sharp edges and snark ala Beat Farmers so I eschewed this stuff hard. But, I can totally understand the feels for it as I am 30 years older. That doesn’t mean it does anything for me. I just get it.
