Review in Vintage Guitar Magazine — Big Old Life

The opening tune, ‘Joy Comes Back,’ demonstrates this band’s range going from a spot-on four-part acapella opening into rockabilly old-timey gospel. After seven years of playing together Arbo and Mayhem’s music still explodes with energy and relaxed good humor. For some younger performers, drawing from multiple stylistic influences results in scatter-shot music, but Arbo and Mayhem have the experience to distill and blend different American genres into a heady and very tasty new musical brew. Drink up!
