Cool new album that opens with the melodic 'Get On Back', a solid hard rock number with a simple bass line and keyboards in the right places, the guitar ranging soft and hard.

'Chest Fever' opens with an organ, and the guitar and vocal harmonies very reminiscent of late 70s American rock. A simple track that nods at AOR. On that note the whole album is kinda retro.

A slight hint of Southern AOR too. Very slight.

'Travel On' is worth a look, some nice slide, a hint at Skynyrd, a great heavy rhythm when the song picks up too. Actually as the album goes on the tracks get better, heavier, more bite, makes the opening tracks seem weak.

***½
