This record came out in 2016 and is their first without a Wes Freed cover, although he does have artwork on the label and on the cover of a 45 single included with the record. It’s the most political record they have made and as Hood says in the liner notes they are left of center. Many of the songs deal with gun violence ‘What It Means” is about the shooting of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown and the birth of BLM,”Guns Of Umpqua” is about a school shooting in Oregon,and Cooley’s “Ramon Casiano is about a 1931 killing of a 15 year old boy by a 17 year old boy who got off on a technicality. Cooley’s song “Once They Banned Imagine” is about Clear Channel Broadcasting making a list of songs not to play after 911 which included Lennon’s Imagine. “Ever South” dives deeper into one of the themes of Southern Rock Opera. It’s not all political though,”Sun Don’t Shine”,as Hood puts it, is a love song to his new home Portland,Oregon where he moved to in 2015,and “Baggage” is a touching song written after Robin Williams suicide were Hood laments about his own bouts of depression. Musically there is less of the Southern Rock sound,more of an Alternative style,Hood and Cooley’s songwriting styles and melodies are very familiar at this point and putting aside the lyrics it sounds good. This is the first time I listened to both sides of the record and given that I am a little right of center this more overt political stance is a little disturbing to me.
