Playing a rural sounding dobro and singing like a hitchhiker’s sandied voice, Babaux snarls out folksy blues with Alana Velvis/dr-perc, Niek Velvis/b and Eric Martinez/g with foreboding allure. The horizons are dark on the rocking “Wide Open Horizon” with the band boogie-ing like ZZ Top o “Bye Bye To You” and “Blame It On Me”. The strings slide like Ricky Henderson into third on the dusty “Test Of Time” while the team gets into a minstrel mood on “I’ve Been There Too”. Faded blue jean b lues.
