Jam bands//jazz rock//Southern rock//Steely Dan//Lynyrd Skynyrd. Deeply uncool, but maybe too-maligned -- or maybe maligned aboutright. This's all that paradox and more: not enough grit to be legitimate, not enough art to be respectable, not enough musicianship to work as pure virtuosity.
You can just see the ex-hippies and other unaware well-washed squares bobbing along blankly in collared shirts. There's some solid, generally hooky jams here, but culturally it's couched in the worst of the 70's. Herculean feat of rising-above-context required for enjoyment of totally fine tunes 3/5
