Tuff Enuff
Genre: Boogie Rock
3.25 out of 5

Highlights:
I Don’t Care


Speaking of ZZ Top….
This sounds like a roots rock band decided to mimic Top and aim for the charts. 
It worked. The single was ubiquitous. And dull as an unsharpened 50 year old butcher knife. 
After that, this is pretty middling Americana rock. A really good Beer Fest band, at best. 
We already have The Blasters. We don’t need another one, especially one that is nowhere near as good as the Alvin bros.
