Description:
Twin City music scene vet Rich Mattson leads Ol` Yeller down a rootsy path that has many interesting sidetrips into such fields as `60s folk-rock and `70s Southern rock. On a tune like "Piece Of Work" the band expertly balances their alt. country rock affection with some Sixties pop flourishes. Then they smoothly slip into the backporch twang of "The Denial Song", which boasts Eric Heywood guesting on pedal steel. "Quality Americana for anyone who likes a glass of wine with their meat and potatoes." Amy Carlson, No Depression (SMA Records)
