The spirit offered by Whiskey Myers is a distillation of rock, blues, and country, with a distinct Texas aftertaste. It's music that cannot be separated from the place it belongs to because it is that place. Where every note is made of the notes that preceded it and together bring to mind one of the most beloved bands in the Confederate lands: Lynyrd Skynyrd.

I still fly that southern flag.

Now, those who rely on the usual exclamations like "derivative music" or "heard it before" are authorized to leave the page. I swear I won't be offended. Word of a scout.

For those interested in getting to the essence, they should know that in this album they will find a quality that hasn't been heard in southern rock since the memorable seventies.

And when Cody Cannon's voice kicks in, so warm and passionate, we can only look around for the specter of the late Ronnie Van Zant, surely at the bar, clutching a bottle and toasting to the good old days gone by.

Come, save my soul. With a bar, a guitar, and a crowd of Honky Tonk.

The essence, as we were saying, is made up of three smoking guitars that forge rock'n'roll in the boiling temperatures of the south. Rocky sounds and driving rhythms that launch onto the track of a boozy blues. A triumph of slide, dobro, and all those roots sounds that disinfect our lost souls.

Guitars pickin' with a bottle of wine.

But even the purest rocker knows how to indulge in melody. We all have a blues to cry over, even if in this specific case it's "a country". And Whiskey Myers finds the ballad of life in a melancholic serenade dedicated to the beloved who is no longer there. The harmonica accompanies a sad story of love, drugs, and disillusionment, this time in the manner of the finest Eagles.

And when you miss the ground beneath your feet, know that even Heaven passes you by.

The spirit offered by Whiskey Myers is a distillation with a great soul, enriched by the best aging techniques, and to be tasted in small sips, to best savor the purity of the aromas. Cheerz!
