With a name like J Roddy Walston, it comes as little surprise the singer, guitarist and pianist hails from the bible belt town of Cleaveland, Tennessee. His third album is seeped in the spirit of the South and has some of the qualities that made the first three Kings Of Leon albums so compelling.

He also knows how to pen a killer tune. Opener ‘Heavy Bells’ gets straight into the action, while ‘Take It As It Comes’ is somewhere between a shrug and a hug.

Walston pounds his keys with aplomb - apparently he refuses outright to play anything other than an original 1970s Yamaha upright piano. Sometimes the music slips into a slightly pointless boogie, such as on the slight ‘Black Light’. But, still, there are plenty of southern friend nuggets for you to sink your teeth into.
