Honkytonk Homeslice: Just Passin’ Thru

SCI Fidelity
Honkytonk Homeslice’s sophomore effort Just Passin’ Thru is full of songs about people who are on the move. But even with all the talk of cars, trains, flyin’ and runnin’, many of the tunes themselves don’t really go anywhere. That’s not to say it’s all dull either. Just Passin’ Thru is at its best on tracks like “Love Is Like a Train” and “Cats,” when singers Bill and Jilian Nershi find
ways to harmonize. The spacey, drawn-out jam at the end of “One Dark Corner,” and the bluesy riffs that close out the title track are highlights as well. Yet, between these peaks, the listener is still left hoping that something a bit fresher will be waiting for them down in the valley.
