Charlie Sexton and Shannon McNally have created one of the most soulful and charming pieces of music to see the light of day in 2006. Throughout the album one is reminded of the trail that Bonnie and Delaney blazed upon with "Motel Shot" and "Homecoming" in the late 60's.

Enjoyable, heart inflected music for those who seek solace in homestyle soul and real music for unreal times.

This is one of those recordings that's low-key, quiet at first but builds up a tidal wave of emotion eventually sweeping over you and demanding your attention. But fear not, you'll be smiling and tapping your foot rather than gasping for air! It's definitely a Charlie Sexton production since he plays most of the instruments and his vocals are prominent in several of the songs. It's somewhat more straight-ahead Americana than Shannon's usual funky, bluesy/rootsy stuff. I sure hope they tour together as a followup to this CD, because it would be a beautiful thing.

I have been a fan of the music of Charlie Sexton and also Shannon McNally. It was odd to see them hook up and work on an album together. Sexton had been touring with Bob Dylan for a while. He released a album last year himself. They were on the same label and they toured together. So some new collaboration was bound to happen. Here it is. In a year with a bunch of musical crossed stars, with Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, here is another quality album. It's short. Only seven songs. "Nothing Mysterious" is an old Sexton song where they both sing together. McNally sings solo on "Old Cypress Tree." They do a cover of a song by Townes Van Zandt. This is a very good record. I look forward to more from these artists.
