Excellent roadhouse rock from a longtime Mission busker. Guitarlos, his band, and guests (Dave Alvin, John Doe, Mike Watt) mix blues, soul, rockabilly, and country into straight ahead rock. There's nothing groundbreaking here; rather, it's aural comfort food. The lyrics lean to lost love, lost homes, lost opportunities, and hope, redemption, and continued effort in the face of all that.
