to rock on other southern rock staples by bands like Charlie Daniels, Blackfoot, Black- berry Smoke and Elvin Bishop, to name a few, while sprinkling in classic rock covers of REO Speedwagon, the Eagles and Eric Clap- ton. But while the cover songs are impressive, it is on their own original music that they shine like new money. Especially on the new songs, fresh creations they have been record- ing for their soon to be released third album. Larkin’s is a very impressive venue. It

Travis boys knocked it out of the park time and time again with original songs like “You Lie,” “Can’t Stand the Rain,” (a Carey Upton tune from years gone by that this writer al- ways loved), Randall Calvert’s “Waitin’ On My Ride,” “Baby Blue,” “Rooster,” “Love Fades Away,” “Chain Gang,” “Spirit in the Hills” (a personal favorite, sung by Daniel Jackson), and others.
