He's not even trying any more. It's like a la grange remix with voice pitch alteration. Not something I'll take pleasure in listening to.

Dusty’s health hasn’t been great in recent years, he’s had hepatitis since 2000 plus he had that shoulder injury a while back that stopped him playing bass at Glastonbury. They cancelled gigs last year due to him having stomach issues. I wouldn’t be too surprised if they scale the touring right back. But yeah, still going as a band though.

I agree the production is a little bit overbearing. 
But I decided after a while yesterday to get it and give it a fair go. It's been on repeat in my car since last night now... I quite like it. I've no problems with it and find that the production does compliment it quite nicely after all. 

All things considered, I would still rather have a ZZ Top album.

I’m a massive billy fan, absolutely love his playing... met him once, nice bloke... but this album is the biggest pile of arse gravy I’ve heard in recent years...
