Ratdog's brand of jam-rock translates......pretty well to the studio format. It seems like the album kind of drifts after a while, but there are some groovy tracks here, among them "Lucky Enough" (closer to pop than most of the album), "Two Djinn", and the tender "Welcome to the World". I played this at work, where a coworker likened Bobby's voice to that of Terry Callier (whom I don't know, but maybe you, the reader, are familiar with him; AMG describes him as kind of R&B/jazz).
