Even if their brand of rock & roll is a little on the clean-cut side, the track has a rawness and good-time feeling that is typically not associated with. Horns that hasn't utilized in a while make a welcome appearance on a few key tunes such as the big-band swing of 'I'll Always Remember You' (which seems like a tribute to ) and the terrifically melodic, midtempo 'Blues Get Off My Shoulder.'Ī little rocking in the snappy and humorous 'Side Dish' shows that this band can crank up the energy when the occasion calls for it. Yet there are enough change-ups and excellent songs here to keep the pace varied. Lyrically detailed story ballads about the trials and tribulations of love, with an emphasis on broken relationships, remain his strong suit as song titles such as 'Sadder Days,' 'Fix This,' 'I'll Always Remember You,' 'Won't Be Coming Home,' and even the album's title imply. He retains the same backing trio on this 2012 release as on 2009's studio disc, with the only major difference in personnel being the addition of noted roots producer.
The differences in albums are subtle but noticeable to fans of the veteran soul-bluesman.
