    Review:  We featured the video for “Bitter End” in our Ten Amazing Videos article last month, and the remainder of the album is just as amazing.  The band is led by Hesperia, California’s own Jason Robert, whose strong and sometimes raspy voice and dobro skills are perfectly suited for this style of blues, with a touch of Americana thrown in for good measure.  “Bitter End,” “Beast Inside,” “Cobble Hill,” “My Shame,” and “Soul Shine” are the best tracks.  We truly expect that this band may well become the voice of Delta Blues and Americana music.  Don’t be surprised to see them headlining shows in the not too distant future.

    Recommendation:  This one is a must have for all fans of the Delta Blues or Americana.  We think you will be putting it on repeat.
