Listening to it is like gazing into a kaleidoscope of our world: the supernatural howl of fogged swamps and open fields, country-buzzing power lines, Bible Belt guilt trips, cotton mouth delusions of redemption, grand mal hallucinations, BBQ pit amplifiers, the bitter/sweet sad longings of persons trapped in small towns, forsaken and forgotten by the rest of the world. It's a concept record of sorts, I suppose, and the concept is "rock de la southern", minus all the Confederate clichés that seem to serve as convenient gimmicks for those who lack imagination.

This is a picture of the New South; one that is fairly multi-cultural, somewhat sympathetic, dogged by ghosts of the past, filled with contradiction, and yet, still strangely proud. Don't know how else to describe it without sounding pretentious, so I'll quit here. We bankrolled this recording ourselves. It's done. - DEGE LEGG
