The Temperance Movement

"Ironically for such a straightforward album, what I love are the details. Any chump with three chords, a pair of absurdly tight jeans and an overbearing fascination with bourbon can serve up tiresome pub blues, but these fellas know their stuff. Listen to 'Know For Sure' for choppy Chicago via Sarf Lahnden licks and 'Chinese Lanterns' for some delicious interplay between the Mick Taylor-styled slide and sweet vocals. Sure, Glaswegian vocalist Campbell runs the risk of sounding obsessed with classic-era Rod Stewart and, yes, individual members of the band have been journeymen players for a while. All this adds to the impression of the theatric and burlesque".
