<p>I don't feel the Tesla comparisons at all through the first 3 songs. I don't feel the country rock vibe either. Southern rock for sure, but not country rock. Blackberry Smoke and Whiskey Myers do country rock much better than this.</p>
<p>I don't remember hearing the first 2 tracks at all, but the second one is pretty good. There is some fine guitar playing for sure. And I get a brief Black Crows feel with that fourth song. Okay, maybe a little Tesla there as well. Sweet Southern Sound…</p>

Okay, maybe a little Tesla there as well. Sweet Southern Sound is reminiscent of the Allman Brothers. Lots of slide guitar on this album. Nothin' wrong with that. </p>
<p>My final verdict is that this is an average listen. The singer is average. The tunes are mostly average. The playing is average at a minimum, maybe a little better at times. It's a mix up of southern rock artists like the Allman Brothers, Black Crows and maybe a bit of Skynyrd. I'm glad to have heard it for sure, but not sad that it doesn't reside in my collection.</p> The same Frank Hannon that's…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2017-04-07:6060463:Comment:1444762017-04-07T19:24:15.578ZJonhttp://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JonCStephenson

<p>The reason you are all likely getting a Tesla vibe is that the band was led by Tesla's Frank Hannon.</p>

<p>Good call on the Tesla vibe, holy cow! The songs sound like they're tailor made for a concert hall but on CD the production is weak and the songs don't come alive like I think they could. I think the vocalist has a decent voice but he loses control of it at times and it sounds funny. Its not really country rock until Sweet Southern Sound comes on and thankfully, maybe even ,mercifully, it bares no resemblance to new country at all, or I would have hit the STOP button and bailed! But is…</p>

But is it the Cherry tune? Hmmm....</p>
<p></p>
<p>This is actually very good! And I'm agreeing with your red song, but rather its the cherry song. Truly the album would have benefited from losing a couple tracks chopping the track count down to 10 - the perfect number of songs for an album.</p>

<p>To be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Frank</span>, it does sound a bit like they borrowed a guitarist from Tesla. But then again, it's a well known fact that Winger, Tesla and Bon Voyageovi are all Nashville's best kept secrets. (Accept, too.)</p>
<p>Not bad for a Honky-Tonk.</p>
