The band's third album, Great Commotion, is its best yet - and the earlier two were great. The band - Harrison, guitarist Robbie Trosper, bassist Vance Hillard, and drummer Brad Henderson - makes unvarnished country rock, comparable to American greats like Merle Haggard, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, or a more sophisticated version of Social Distortion. The band's hard-rocking twang recalls the Rolling Stones at their early-'70s best.
