If/Then: Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers

Nicki Bluhm and her band evoke plenty of rustic-polished acts from across the generations: Sheryl Crowe, the Eagles, the Band, Eva Cassidy, Fleetwood Mac, Dawes, Band of Horses... basically, if you are my dad, you'll probably like this album. In fact, I dig it myself, it's a thoroughly clean good time with just enough rock and soul, and they find enough routes into their sound to keep the album interesting track after track.
