“The album is an elegant exercise of song writing skills and phenomenal music ability, not just by Fetterman himself but by the whole array of musicians…“Southbound” is a rock tune that would have made Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis ecstatic with joy…incredible guitar ability with some very powerful vocals…”
