Purists and apologists might argue with the label — the band's lonesome Americana is tinged with jangling, jutting rock guitars that suggest the influence of acts such as R.E.M. and Uncle Tupelo. Yet, the band absolutely understands the spirit — and spins out the soul — of the AM radio heroes who've been keeping haggard truck drivers company for decades.
