A weathered blend of gritty acoustic blues and boom-bap rhythms. Soulful, raspy storytelling for the blue-collar struggle and the long road home.

Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, head-nodding drum break that kicks in on I Get By, grounding the acoustic strumming in street-level grit.
The haunting, stripped-back vulnerability of Sixty-Five Roses, where the rasp in the vocals feels particularly fragile.
The soulful, organ-drenched climax of the Sam Cooke cover, A Change Is Gonna Come, closing the album on a note of weary hope.
