>> But unless you've been paying close attention, this new album might

>> bass-heavy, riff-tastic, and Reese's vocals are echoey & placed low down
>> in the mix, as though to encourage you to turn it up as LOUD as possible.

>> Of course, with some members flung to faraway places, and others fixing
>> to fling themselves even further, it seems inevitable that Bull City
>> *will* wind down at some point. So soak up their potent mix of
>> Chiltonian weirdness & Southern Rock while you can.
>>
>> It took them 6 years, but the Dynamite Brothers finally released their
>> second album late last year, and it's a doozy, even more loaded with
>> greasy blues/funk/boogie than their debut.
