The album is pretty solid - opening cuts are real grabbers. The knockout
collaboration with Ginger Wildheart ("F__k You Brain") isn't on either
of their albums, though it's available as a single (fund raiser for a
charity org). I loved Ryan's first record (finished in my top 10 that
year) but as good as this one is there is already some seriously stiff
competition in 2017 thanks to Chuck Prophet, Dan Baird and others.
