In the vein of vintage Bob Dylan or Pleased to Meet Me-era Replacements, Chad Rex blends his influences into a solid mix of rock. Featuring former members of the terribly underrated Paw, this band makes the kind of noise that groups like Uncle Tupelo used to make in the early ’90s. Fans of more rock-oriented alt-country may want to give this album a listen, as well as Paw fans who still want to hear what the members are up to. – Bradley Torreano
