Lannie Flowers is from Texas and, while I`m sure there`s nothing in the water down Austin way, fans of the missing-in-action Blue Cartoon are going to love the updated rootsy stylings here.

There`s overwhelmingly catchy vibe here because this material splendorously drift from hard-wired anthemics to more open chorded, gentle sounds to sweeping, accessible and good-natured hook magic ala Badfinger on a few here.
