Even though I know this is a crowd funded concept album about the experience of living in the Deep South, it still confuses the heck out of me when they start singing about living in Birmingham. Anyhoo, this takes as its starting point the tragic story of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the plane crash in 1977 that killed half the band, as well as the pilots. It’s a wildly ambitious project, but they just about pull it off, tackling some touchy subjects. Bostintastic!

I got through the first 6 songs. Not convinced that another 14 songs are going to change my opinion. Musically I don't hate it (and don't love it, either), but vocally and lyrically it's really not my thing.
