Waiting a long time for more of their music. As usual, just 1st rate music and lyrics. If they got play around the country they'd be stars. It IS that good as are ALL of their others. Buy em all and turn others on to this great music.

This cd gets my vote for ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
Not only are the songs great, but the vocals and tightness of the band are spectacular. I am not as lucky as Joe (other review) who has seen them live. I hope they someday make there way to the NY area.
Hopefully, more music will follow in the months and years to come.

I've seen X-Angels perform live scores of times over the years, and have always walked away saying they are one of the best bands I've heard anywhere.  Their new CD, Mississippi Sessions, drives that point home as the best album I've heard this year, and i'm predicting next year as well.  On this album, the band is true to their deeply inspired by The Byrds, The Band, and Bob Dylan sound, with 10 songs that are all excellent, each one attempting to surpass the previous one.  A blend of rock, blues, and country that is truly exceptional, with a modern and radio-potential feel.  The smooth and rocking guitars of lead guitarist Steve James Wright, the deep and precise rhythm of  bassist Rich Gooch and drummer Tom Royer, and the addition of Hammond B-3 organ accompaniment by Dave Fleshner, takes the emotional lyrics and beautiful melodies of band leader Tom McGriff to extreme heights.  This is a must hear and must own CD for the true music-lovers.
