notes

The Five Points Band are bringing you a totally new sound. The band's second album is made up of 9 dynamite originals and a few choice classics that will keep you jumping. Delta blues lovers, cajun swingers and rock fans alike will all find a groove. It's covered with great artwork, and comes in a Digipack.

"I've listened to this record about a dozen times so far and every time I do I find more stuff to like about it. It's just plain good music and the guys have done a great job on their second outing. Congrats to the Five Points Band and to the Guest musicians on a job well done! This record is aptly named as it contains both Roots and plenty of Spirit." -Tweed's Blues

Featuring guest appearances by Lew Soloff, Steve Burgh, Acacia Ludwig, Sweetbryar Ludwig, and Zak Alister.

    A real smorgasbord of down home-goodness.I've heard bands claiming to be this or that but these guys really deliver the GOOD STUFF.Doc Mongoose

    AWESOME! great blues, sliding guitar and a real Tom Waits feel. LOVE IT! Guy has one of those kind of bluesy, "nasty" voices.... but nasty good!

    At first listen, I envisioned Tom Waits and Johnny Cash duking it out for first mention in the Five Points Band’s list of musical influences, of which there are obviously many. This NYC trio delivers a variety of moods ranging from brooding dark blues to up-beat swinging, jump blues, to carnival style New Orleans funeral. The Five Points Band possess such a unique and attractive style, I’d say that these guys are prime candidates for a cult following. Intelligent lyrics, delivered by spooky at times (yet smooth) rock and roll vocals and sanctified by tasteful and intense instrumentation, make this CD a must have for fans of delta blues, twang and rock-a-billy, although you can’t classify this release into any of those singular categories.
