Wow, this album sped right by at just under 34 minutes. The band sounds very tight on songs that sound like the band had played them 1000 times before. While most of the songs can be characterized as being, or influenced by, roots rock and Latino music, each song stretches the band in slightly different directions ("Lil' King of Everything" could easily be mistaken for a Richard Thompson song, IMO). Two songs that seem to be the biggest stretches from those two musical influences are "A Matter of Time" and "Will the Wolf Survive?"

Songs I knew I liked: None

Songs I didn't know but now like: I really love and will be buying a copy of "Will the Wolf Survive?" I also enjoyed "Don't Worry Baby" (not a Beach Boys cover) and "I Got Loaded"

Songs I can go the rest of my life without hearing again: None in particular.
