Self-released

If Wheelers’ Jordan “Lamont” Landers had chosen to do anything with his life besides sing in a roots rock band, then things wouldn’t be as right in this world. When you’re barely in your twenties and you sound like you’ve spent the last decade digging ditches in a Delta chain gang, you don’t have a choice but to pick up a guitar as well. Landers’ soulful crooning combines with the band’s tight playing to create an accessible Americana style that fits just right in the alternative-rock age. The group shines on concise songs like “Another Day” and “The Crow,” which sound great, even though they’re total downers. However, it is the fun, jammed-out stuff like “1904” that keeps you wanting more when the record’s over.
