Tishamingo come from the US and play that timeless style of laid back southern rock meets country. This is a very enjoyable album with some stand out tracks like ‘Hillbilly Wine’, which could easily be off a Widespread Panic album - a classic tune with some neat, drawling guitar playing.

Skynyrd’s ‘Poison Whiskey’ gets a run through and is a touch more laid back than the original version. Tracks like ‘Magic’ almost veer of into jazz-rock at times, whilst ‘Smoked Mullet’ brings the pace back into the album.

The guitar playing and organ/piano parts are a particular delight and the only slight downside is the occasional forays into jazzier playing - not my cup of tea I am afraid.

If you enjoy classy rock music and especially Widespread Panic then grab this album as you won’t be disappointed.
