Though past efforts have found the rowdy trio cranking out hard rock, they\u2019re not a one-dimensional act. As the title track of <em>Holdin&#8217; the Bag<\/em> illustrates, they can turn out hard-bitten Americana-flavored rock that combines the best of singer\/songwriter with the western end of c&amp;w.
