Vocalist Jeni Grouws has lost none of the fire and spunk shown on the AGB’s 2020 release, The Devil May Care, as evidenced here on the leadoff blues-rocker, “Love Raining Down”.  Dialing it back for a heart-tugging reading of the soul-rock ballad “Hanging Around”, she makes its case for serious airplay consideration.  Impressive slow blues work appears on the pungent “Bad, Bad Year” and the torchy title track.  Props to guitar ace Chris Avey and band for solid support throughout.
