“If what the Benedictions play truly is devil music, then can someone please point me to the nearest Satanic church so that I can fill out my membership application form? This record is a winning mix of country, rockabilly, and folk all played with a serious edge. They remind me somewhat of Death & Taxes, minus the punk influences. Having three lead singers each with a distinct voice helps keep things fresh, and the band knows that even in outsider music like this, you still need to have good hooks. While the singers are all strong, it’s the musicianship that truly stands out. The band is extremely adept at setting a scene instrumentally, be it the rush of an oncoming train or the desolation of a ghost town. At times, the Benedictions make me want to dance, and times they make me want to mosey. I can’t remember the last time a record moved me to undertake the underrated pleasure of moseying, so these guys are definitely aces in my book. (Kevin Finn)”
