The influence and inspiration of coming up in Northern California is clear. Pagan Ranch sounds like it could be some lost classic from the 70’s. Bay Area hippified California country music. Then throw a relocation to New Orleans on top of that. Southern soul, back up singers, touch of blues and just the right amount of jambalaya twang on the guitar. And a great story teller to boot. Mr. Boots reminds me of a small handful of my favorite singers, musicians & bands. None so much that it’s ever bothersome. In fact it gives the album some immediate familiarity, and who doesn’t love that? I would recommend this album to 9 of my 10 friends. And at only 31 minutes – who doesn’t have time for that?
