Title: alt-country pop crap
Review: To me this is just another example of a major label giving a chance to same young musicians with limited talent and little to offer, in this case a looking toward the alt-country market. To these ears, this is a boring record from start to finish, starting off w/ Stephen Foster's civil war era "Hard Times" as if this song has been rediscovered by this ensemble or something. It's either pretentious or simpleminded but it just doesn't work for me & i think sets the record off very poorly. Perhaps the band can improve, but like many of these types of bands I feel that it is just imitation at best, and in this case not a good one of mountain type music, slicked up in Hollywood.
