This is the 7th studio release in as many years for family trio The Stone Coyotes. Fronted by Barbara Keith (vocals, guitars, keys), with her husband Doug Tibbles on drums (the two met around the time of Keith`s `71 self-titled LP on Reprise) and their son John Tibbles on bass, the band`s bare-bones rock combines rootsy soul and hard rock vigor. Back-to-back examples are the breezy country folk tune "Johnny Rock`s Cantina" and it successor "Back To New York", with its AC/DC-like guitar riff. Many songs find a suitable point in between. And at times there are hints of Lucinda Williams and Melissa Etheridge in Keith`s bold delivery, and songs on par with the aforementioned as well. Not unthinkable from a woman whose early work has been recorded by the likes of Delaney & Bonnie, Barbara Streisand, Valerie Carter, and Neal Casal! -- Robinson, Miles Of Music (Red Cat Records)
