Rhythm of the Tires

Georgia family band Headin’ Home delivers an album of honest-to-goodness, all-natural, down-home music. Of course, with a family band, you expect the theme of home to be prominent, and that’s certainly the case here, although with a band that plays out as much as these folks do, home isn’t just a cabin on the hillside. “Rusty Old Camper” tells of life on the road in a vehicle many bluegrass artists and fans can relate to.  “Grandpa Tell Me Bout The Good Old Days” plays the nostalgia card, but with a twist, as the singer, instead of reminiscing about their own past, is asking an elder family member to tell stories about an earlier and perhaps better time. 

You can’t doubt the sincerity of the singers, whether it’s a song like “Daddy’s Hands,” an ode to the hard-working, loving father, or “I’m Just A Used-to-Be to God,” an ode to a loving heavenly father and our sometimes less than faithful following. The album shines with the glow of love and fellowship. Listening to the songs, I get the feeling that the Lindblom family would be wonderful neighbors. I certainly would enjoy hearing them picking on the front porch any day.
