Half a Boy/Half a Man

High-octane boogie rock fueled by stinging slide guitar and barroom grit. A late-career testament to the power of a relentless shuffle and a cold drink.

Unapologetically rowdy and high-spirited with a touch of world-weary grit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sharp, stinging slide guitar entry on the title track that immediately establishes the album's high-octane boogie rhythm.
The heavy, chugging momentum of Hellbound Train where the band settles into a darker, more hypnotic groove than their usual fare.
The interplay between the honking saxophone and the gritty guitar riffs during the bridge of B.I.G.T.I.M.E.
