Fastball

Immediately recalling the Wallflowers (who recall Robbie Robertson and Levon Helm) comes this Austin, Tex., trio who specialize in crossover songs dipped like a Dairy Queen cone in a vat of chocolatey warm tone. The sound of a grinding Hammond B-3 organ pumped through old, wooden Leslie cabinets undulates over clean piano lines, clickety-clack railroad-track drum staccatos, succinct basslines, tube-tone electric guitar, and soulful vocals that edge out those of Jakob Dylan.
