Black Stone Cherry's second record pushes the band’s Southern rock influences to the forefront, lacing their grinding, grungy songs with a down-home snarl. "Reverend Wrinkle" is scuffed-up boogie with a twangy edge, while lively organs add a mystical flair to the New Orleans-set rager "Devil's Queen". Better still is "Soulcreek", a rootsy rocker marked by campfire-jam gang harmonies, with vocalist Chris Robertson belting out the chorus as if he were leading a gospel choir.
