Out of the plainly named Richards/Crane work, the Americans surprise with some flawless acoustic rock. Ten exciting, fantastically composed songs filled with emotions condense the essentials of music. Produced by Dave Fortman (Slipknot, Godsmack, Evanescence), Richards/Crane evoke the glorious days of bands like the Eagles, America or Fleetwood Mac in their Danny Kirwan/Bob Welch phase.
