While have dipped into their love of Mississippi blues in the past, they bring their fascination with the Delta roots sounds to the fore with their heartfelt 2021 covers project . Named after the iconic photo that adorns the album cover, the record finds the duo of singer/guitarist and drummer putting their distinctive, garage rock stamp onto songs by such Mississippi blues legends as , , and . Reinterpreting the work of landmark Southern Black artists is a tricky proposition for most bands, let alone a group of white indie rockers like the Akron, Ohio-bred/Nashville-based . Thankfully, while it's somewhat looser and more low-key than the group's sonically ambitious studio efforts, percolates with a respect for the source material. Recorded with no rehearsal over a sweaty ten-hour session, the set works as a spiritual follow-up to their similarly inclined 2006 tribute EP . However, where that release found them sticking to their nervy two-person lineup, here they've expanded their approach, bringing along guitarist and bassist , both longtime and associates. Also on board is auxiliary percussionist and regular pianist/organist . Their presence adds a level of legit, whiskey-soaked virtuosity to ' sound. As a singer, 's nasally Midwestern yawp is a good fit for the Mississippi blues style, and together with this bolstered lineup it evokes the '70s Southern rock and blues of artists like the . Kicking off the album is the duo's rendition of the classic track "Crawling Kingsnake." Swampy, yet vibrating with a dreamy psychedelic quality, the song perfectly sets up what is to come. Equally engaging is their slide guitar-accented take on 's "Poor Boy a Long Way from Home" and their woozy, meditative reading of 's "Walk with Me." Laconic and acidly textured, is a perfect balance of ' lo-fi swagger and keen ear for the Mississippi blues traditions that inspired it. ~ Matt Collar
