Tulsa-based South 40`s debut album Home catches its own reflection with a collection of songs that are both nostalgic and forward-looking. The album`s title is taken from the metaphoric place we all come from. For South 40, that place varies from song to song, but ultimately brings the listener into the common experience. We all have stories and memories from our past, some we`d like to forget, some we relive over and over. Built on the foundation of Oklahoma country, this band proudly flies it influences by name-checking Waylon, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Chris Ledoux in the album`s closing track. The band has wisely stuck to a no-frills and honest brand of country letting the songs and the playing carry the load. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
