Editorial Reviews

This NY-based quintet melds the deep grooves of blues and R&B with guitar work that recalls JJ Cale and Little Feat. Formed in 2002, the band's first proper album was a live set released in 2004, followed by five "instant live" albums from their December 2005 tour, which made them a favorite in jam band circles. While he respects the jam band scene, founding member Reid Genauer believes his band's focus on songcraft puts them in a different league.

I was a little put off when I saw the track list because I knew all but three or four songs. I was hoping for all new songs. After listening to the CD I realized why the guys were so excited to release the album. It is their best by far. Most fans know them through live shows and don't devote to much time to their recorded albums. This one is a must get. The album has a great sound all the way through. The guest artists give each song a nice touch but this is a Assembly of Dust record to be sure. There was a high standerd set for this album unlike Recollection's disjointed gathering of tunes. Also if fans are reluctant to check it out because Nate Wilson is not a featured player anymore you will like it anyway I'll bet. Nate also does a great job co-producing the record. Highlights for me are Pedal Down, Light Blue Lover, Edges, Leadbelly, and High Brow. All are great. I'm sure you will appreciate the great effort put forth by all of the guys. See you at Rev Hall, Phil

This is, by far, one of my favorite albums. I can listen to every single song all the way through. Throw in all the special guests and this album is unbeatable. It is a must have for any fan of "jam band" music.
