      Imagine the horn band Chicago teaming up with King Crimson to make an album, and then a couple of rock musicians stop in along with a couple of country musicians. That is sort of the blend you have on this album. Some songs are slow and haunting and others rock, while others have jazzy interludes.
      If you like King Crimson, It's a Beautiful Day, Blood, Sweat and Tears and think you would enjoy hearing an experimental progressive horn band, then you will enjoy this. There is nothing "untuneful" or spacey or dissonant here, but lots of blending of styles and quick transitions, and the playing is good.
