Congrats to the Five Points Band and to the Guest musicians on a job well done! This record is aptly named as it contains both Roots and plenty of Spirit." -Tweed's Blues

At first listen, I envisioned Tom Waits and Johnny Cash duking it out for first mention in the Five Points Band’s list of musical influences, of which there are obviously many. This NYC trio delivers a variety of moods ranging from brooding dark blues to up-beat swinging, jump blues, to carnival style New Orleans funeral. The Five Points Band possess such a unique and attractive style, I’d say that these guys are prime candidates for a cult following. Intelligent lyrics, delivered by spooky at times (yet smooth) rock and roll vocals and sanctified by tasteful and intense instrumentation, make this CD a must have for fans of delta blues, twang and rock-a-billy, although you can’t classify this release into any of those singular categories.
