Enthusiasm and energy abound on tracks from regulars of a Thursday night jam session held, prior to the pandemic, for twenty years-plus in the Keystone State.  In addition to the good vibes and consistently strong play, quality songwriting is present on these all-original tracks.  Standout work includes that of guitarist/vocalists Bob Wineland and Ben Brandt and bands, respectively, on “Trouble All Over The World” and “Nameless”.  A rock-solid groove is served up by the band Barrelhouse on “The Blues Will Burn Ya”, featuring knockout vocals from Rose Hudson.
