This is a GREAT album. For those familiar with the seventies California sound perhaps best exemplified by Jackson Browne ( some of these songs the lead singer is channeling Browne so hard you are waiting for Running on Empty to be the next song) and also in medley the sounds of CSN and The Eagles. This is not hyperbole this band is that good. They will never find the level of success that these earlier bands did as the music business is different and the times are different but this is a strong band. I had heard of Dawes from their first album but had not given made a strong effort to listen. With this album on Spotify I have listened all the way thru a couple of times today.
The album opens with Time Spent in Los Angeles one of those place and time songs that describes the singer being the way he is because of time spent in the city. Songs such as If I Wanted Someone, Comin Back a Man, Fire Away and My Way Back Home are all a dose of the seventies sound circa California 72. The album ends with A Little Bit of Everything a song that has more meaning the more times you listen.
A very good album.
