New full length album, Waitin' out NOW on all streaming platforms. 

​

"Waitin’ shines, brightly. As a collection of songs, each of these nine tracks rely on the individual strength of the entire band to make them work. No one’s just along for the ride here.  The album is sequenced in such a way that its R&B depth, its Stax Records lover’s appeal, and its embodiment of high performance Memphis soul confidently defines the first four of these nine songs. 

 Bookended by two distinct odes to the groups’ country origins, Highway #2 and Gospel are the type of character-driven story songs that command a strong attention to the narrative, while  Alone  and  Friends reinforce the group’s strength as a multi-musician force of nature. " - Grid City Magazine
