Any band that contains a member who plays (in no particular order), electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bottleneck guitar, lapsteel guitar and the mandolin, while singing lead vocals for a group that can be alternatively described as country, blues, bluegrass, rock with comparisons as diverse as Big Sugar, Dave Matthews, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones must be good.
Any band that can somehow sound true to its own name while evoking pictures of dusty taverns, rattlesnakes, half-empty bottles of warm Jack Daniels, broken-down Chevys and tumbleweeds must be great.
Any band that can write such time-defying lyrics as "I don't want no skinny woman" while keeping your foot tapping, hands clapping, head nodding and body twitching has got to be grand.

Any band that can combine members of black and white ethnicities without sounding like Vanilla Ice or Hootie and the Blowfish must be fantastic.
Listen and believe it baby...
