Country roots with rocking undertones can be overrated and, as of late, overused. However, Mr. Thorson, in a simple, even-keeled kind of way, makes his tunes bite-size and easy to chew. The first side is a rockabilly sort of romp with themes of self-loathing and heartbreak; it’s hard to imagine what his sound actually is, because two of the four songs on this vinyl EP are covers. Granted, his approach is not really new, but he does do a nice version of “Old Red Wine.” On the other hand, I could have done without a Hank Williams cover. I am of the belief that some things should not be altered from their original form - Jack Gregory
