Meticulously produced and with an upbeat edge, ‘Hot Jerky’is not your usual alt-country album. Stoney Joe continue to make headwaystriving on down that beautifully melodic trail; ‘Hot Jerky’ picks up where‘Brown Bread And Rice’ left off. With their idiosyncratic use of electronicinstrumentation and live band setting, Stoney Joe have masterminded a soundthat is all their own. There is an exciting lack of predictability here, allowingeach track to magnificently flow from one to the other seamlessly revealing anuncompromising attention to the crafting of an album.
