This sure ain't the Outlaws as you knew them back in the 1970s, when Henry Paul was a vital member. But Hughie Thomason has carried on, found a group of talented new musicians, and released this surprisingly solid album. It took me more than a decade to "discover" it, but I look at that as just another case of "better late than never." Many examples of The Outlaws trademark guitar jamming can be found on here, but there are also some real songwriting gems such as "Steam on the Blacktop," which ranks as one of my very favorite Outlaws songs of all time. It's one of those "sticks in your head and hum it all day" types of songs. All in all, this is another quality album from a band that has always deserved more acclaim than they have received.
