This is a pleasant enough collection of originals and a few covers recorded live by this band from South Carolina. The CD is divided into an acoustic and electric set. The acoustic material sounds like any number of similar bands peppering college campuses througout the south-there's a definite Deadhead jam-band sensibility with loads of typically indistinct male vocals and just as indistinct songwriting. There's a nice bar-band caliber performance of John Prine's "Picture Show," a decent open-mic night version of the Grateful Dead's "On the Road Again," and several mediocre original tunes their audience seems to enjoy-I just can't get into many of them. The songs have melodies, and even chord-progressions, but they try too hard to be clever and poignant without being much of either. Most of the acoustic tunes don't sound particularly heartfelt. "Ice cream never erases the heat of her smile" is a lyric that is offered over and over in a song called "Grandma's a Stranger." The vocalist sounds like he thinks he's dropping some great pearl of wisdom on the listener-but this listener is merely rolling his eyes.

The Blue Dogs have many writers in the band-and one of them does stand out. Phillip Lammonds' "I'd Give Anything" is a well crafted and performed song that is miles above the other's contributions. He also has a peppy country tune called "The Way Back" that explores the amorous possibilities in an SUV. His songs are the only things on the disc to recommend.
