Generational Southern rockers return to the roots-rock well for their second album in as many years. Formed by (vocals, guitar) and (vocals, guitar) to carry the torch lit in the 1970s by their famous fathers, and , the new group's prime initiative was essentially to pay direct homage to 's legacy, playing that group's classic material live while writing some new songs of their own in the now-familiar vernacular. To that end, are an absolute success; they made their recorded debut in 2019 with , a warmly captured sonic tribute to the Southern-fried blues-rock/country-soul amalgam the original made famous decades earlier. It was even recorded in glowing analog at Alabama's legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, notable for being one of 's original points of origin. Released one year later, 's sophomore LP, , follows more or less the same formula as its predecessor. Recorded live to tape at Muscle Shoals, is a reliable and often-pleasing romp down the muggy dirt roads of soulful Southern rock that hits its mark squarely without making any real attempts to rock the boat. Given the group's M.O., that's not necessarily a bad thing. , , and bassist -- son of founding member and another key player in this mix -- are all fluid, capable musicians with deep knowledge, personal history, and an inherent chemistry well-suited to this type of music. If tracks like "Carolina Song" and "Magnolia Road" sound like not-so-distant echoes of the music their fathers made, then perhaps they are simply doing their heritage a service. Probably the most adventurous cut here is the sprawling 12-minute instrumental "Savannah's Dream" which at times crashes into psych or prog rock -- albeit distinctly Southern, of course -- territory with its nimble arpeggios and near-telepathic trading of licks. Whether or not will make any hard left turns from their chosen path remains to be seen, but two albums in, their dogged adherence to family and cultural traditions remains their defining feature. ~ Timothy Monger
