Editor's note: sorry for the rough ride on this one but every time I played the record without weights it skipped. It shows no deeply grooved scratches but must just be one of the touchy wax creations that come along once in a while. As for the songs: they are hit and miss. Some are very good and others are just standard fare folksy sounding ballads. I've seen some reviews of this album expecting a full chorus of roughnecks but I like these examples with minimal guitar and solo singing.
