  Rather than romanticizing the South, the album examines it through crime stories, family history, class tension, and regional pride all tangled together. The triple-guitar attack gives the songs force, but the writing is what makes the record memorable. Hood, Cooley, and Isbell all deliver unforgettable songs. Few rock albums are this literary while still sounding this loud and alive.
