With the help of drummer Bill Stewart, organist and pianist Larry Goldings, and bassist Steve Swallow, John Scofield renders twelve classic country tunes through the prism of vigorous modern jazz. Country icons including Hank Williams, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton, and George Jones are reinterpreted by Scofield by focusing strongly on the melody of each song, accentuating his playing with a noticeable twang, which lends the music the requisite bucolic sensibility.
