RecommendSoulful southern tunes with a lyrical preoccupation with travel, and how it changes both plans and relationships. Lead singer Becky Warren wrote all the songs, and her throaty voice leads the right air of resignation-yet-determination that makes the tracks work. While the band itself can often sound pedestrian and a little too slick for the grit aspired to in the lyrics, overall they create a good laconic groove. It is the small picture that makes The Great Unknowns promising: great vocals, solid rhythm section, and writing that will only get stronger with more experience. In "1000 Miles From Tennessee" Warren sings: "I drove out west to see how it would feel without you/I found an answer in every back road drive."; by continuing to look in the right places for ideas, this band will do alright.
