Another article, another band that has been getting overwhelmingly positive reviews, another time where I don't really know why that is. Mississippi Bones is another band to join in on the southern stoner rock state of mind and they do it fairly well, it's just nothing amazing. I've read their descriptions of their sound on other sites as sounding like just s couple of guys jamming and having fun, and I can see that. The problem with this view is that the jams aren't great. To be a jam band (not that Mississippi Bones are call themselves a jam band) you need to be spontaneous and exciting, something that this group lacks. The recording quality is so-so, but in that style where you know it's that way on purpose; like they didn't want it sounding too polished. That's something I've never been accustomed to.
