Released Spring 2006
Y'allternative, Drinking Man's Rock, or sometimes Alt Country
"the group's most underproduced album yet, a suitably ragged, off-the-cuff recording that sounds as if it were tracked in a garage in one take. As this disc spins, you can damn near smell the motor oil and cheap beer.
And that's the way it should be." Jason Bracelin, Scene mag

No Name Cafe
Released 2004
that part of Americana where Uncle Tupelo, Black Crowes, Georgia Satellites and Chris Whitley share a case of Pabst.
"..serve up some of the best forget-your-troubles songs you've heard in a long time." "an attractive mix of Americana and hard rock, with touches of blues, country-rock, and even punk."
-both fromSteve Byrne Cleveland Scene Mag 3/31/04

Talk Down The Sky
Released 2003
Roadhouse rock. Beer-soaked gems that promise no nasty hangover. Drive By Truckers, Slobberbone, or a young Tom Petty with a shot of adrenaline.
The music warms the blood. If you have any appreciation for country rock, if you’ve ever downed longnecks in a honkytonk after the woman done left you, if your passion for cars eclipses your passion for what’s-her-name (the woman you married), if you have ever uttered the phrase “yee-haw” in your life (wipe that innocent look off your face), then this CD is for you.
