Artistry
The album's musical style incorporates elements of psychedelic, jam band, jazz, R&B, gospel and folk.[1] Guitarist/songwriter Toy Caldwell drew heavily from bluegrass and country while writing songs for the band's debut.[3]
The album's eclectic style has been categorized as country rock[1] and Southern rock.[2]
The lead single, "Can't You See", musically is a mixture of country rock and Southern rock.[4] The lyrics of "Can't You See" are noted as being dark, reflecting heartache and "a man running as far away as he can to begin the process of healing himself".[4]
