The soul infused ‘One More Chance’, is a splendid gentle guitar and harmonica plea
for forgiveness and ‘Rob And Steal’, is quite simply, a great percussion and bass
driven Hill Country stomper.
‘I Can Feel It’, is a tender, slowburn, pleading guitar driven, love ballad.
‘You Better Run’, is a stark, menacingly dark, guitar fuelled warning.
‘Miss You’, is an acoustic guitar and slowly wailing harmonica driven tale of
melancholy and bitter loss.
Highly Recommended!

‘Young Country Boy’, delivers a confidently electrifying, rocking blues, with strong
percussive backing. ‘It’s My Time Now’, continues this rocking blues theme and on
‘Hanging In There’, John C. Stubblefield provides the bass, for this infectious, chant
infused stinging guitar rocker.
‘Ramblin’ is a steady, infectiously rocking, boogie concerning emotional turbulence,
while ‘Holdin’ My Woman’, is a lively, guitar picking tale about losing one’s girlfriend.
‘I Been Looking’, is also a plaintive plea for a missing loved one, the steady rolling
shuffle aligns well with the slightly wailing vocal and ‘She’s Gone’, is another tale of
