This Brooklyn-by-way-of-Texas trio encompasses the best of Spaceman 3's dopey, drugged-out psychedelia, Lou Reed's dark side narratives, and Dylan's everyman story telling. Vietnam is the soundtrack for people struggling to get by in a place where dreams don't always come true. As Black Book said, "'The Concrete...' is stripped-to-the-bone bluesy hippy rock with a 'fuck you' and 'follow your dreams' attitude."
