The Doores\u2019 penned \u201cCricket\u2019s Creed\u201d could easily have been written 100 years ago, and Riley\u2019s \u201cThrow Another Cap on the Fire\u201d wouldn\u2019t sound off place in one of America\u2019s dwindling hobo jungles. The fact that this record sounds so downright, down home authentically old could come across hackneyed the way some roots acts who rely too heavily on pastiche often do. But <em>Holy Cross Blues<\/em> never does. This is the real deal. I expect to see them at the Folk Fest soon, and if not, well then someone is asleep at the wheel.
