Former Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson's heart has always been spiritually in the early Seventies, and with his new Brotherhood, he's finally found the ideal vehicle to indulge his taste for "Cosmic California Music".

With guitarist Neal Casal at his most Garcia-esque and twinkly, "Tulsa Yesterday" has the relaxed, extempore vibe of the Grateful Dead, while on "Rosalee", Adam MacDougall's clavinet brings a laidback funk, over which Casal's guitar lines spiral with finest Allman Brothers fluidity.
