Album Review: Franky Walnut - The Franky Walnut Reflective Drink Coaster
If you’re not a fan of country music this release still holds some value with witty lyrics and catchy melodies. And if that doesn’t do it for you, use this CD as the title suggests.

The Brules Of Life
"It’s not going to be something that will show on an airplane for in-flight entertainment."
Features / Music
Best Laid Plans
"This felt like the band’s second record for me, and I think everybody."
