Now I was a long term fan of Jimmie Dale Gilmore but somehow missed out on the Blasters at the time but grew to love 'em backwards (sic!) by coming across Dave in more recent incarnations and love that roots rock and blues n country music sound and then some

It’s a matrix recording so is exceptionally fine and the guys are on fire here. Put on your cowboy boots and kick some shins!(I said “SHINS”!)
