Their 1999 album Burn to Shine is a restless, soulful thing that moves easily between front-porch blues, folk, funk and full-throated rock.
The title track smolders slow and steady, "Forgiven" leans into its ache, and "Steal My Kisses" is the loose, sunny shuffle that keeps drawing people back, a grin of a song with a groove you could lean on all afternoon.
