Texas-based guitarist and vocalist Jim Suhler delivers a good natured set in a concert from the Kessler Theater in Dallas, Texas. His b and of Chris Alexander/b, Shawn Phares/key and Beau Chadwell/dr are augmented by Tim Alexander/k and Tex Lovera/g and all through the show, the mood keeps optimistic, as the band boogies on a steady KC beat during “I Declare” and rocks the blues on “Panther Burn.” Suhler’s voice has a homey twang, making it work on Delta blues slide during “Scattergun” or taking you to church on the gospel tunes like “My Morning Prayer.”
Some clever Iberian moods pop up on “Sunday Drunk” and the band shows it’s swamp chops on”Tijuana Bible.” Fun and unpretentious, charming with the band’s devotion to the roots.
