Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers "Into The Great Wide Open" Dad Rock The Wild Swans paint indelible

The Wild Swans paint indelible images: Simpson’s sparkling voice and Kelly’s ethereal guitars provide the album with an undeniably romantic feel

the used up soul desperate to get to New Orleans (Ain't Got No Money) and the sons of bitches in West Virginia poisoning the land and sea (Don't Drink the Water)

Produced and engineered by James over two multi-week sessions at Los Angeles

the result is a "band record" in the noblest sense

like their version of original garage punk nugget ‘Little Black Egg’ by The Nightcrawlers
