Review:
A very good album
This is hugely enjoyable album of very good songs, very well performed. There's a good variety here and many of the songs are intelligently aimed at targets like the beauty industry (Being Pretty Ain't Pretty), the hypocrisy sometimes concealed by religiosity (Hush Hush), a song called Unhappily Married which speaks for itself, and so on.
The singing is exceptionally good with three fine performers giving great individual performances and really good close-harmony stuff with a strong country feel but also elements of blues, jazz and even rock in various places. The band are terrific - tight, sensitive and full of guts when needed - and the production shows off each song at its best.
I think this is album is a genuine bit of class among the best of the great amount of good (and not-so-good) Country/Americana around just now. Very warmly recommended.
