The Continuing Saga of The Wyatts, Volume 1 (their second release) begins with the band on tour: Things are going well, but something just doesn't feel right. "I should've been a rodeo star," sings Roscoe Wyatt on "I Should Have Been," "it beats playing all these lonely, smoke-filled bars." "Won't Take Long" finds the band renewed, rockin' and "rolling down the highway, pushing until daylight's gone." But all those run-ins with beautiful girls on the road have taken their toll: On "Broke Your Heart," Roscoe croons, "I swear she was the only one," and on "I'm Not Your Savior," things get a bit more tense: "Don't you see now, you're not my only wife," Roscoe cries over a dark and daunting Johnny Cash-style hook.
On "The Pick-Up," a blue-eyed girl named Belinda stirs up a whole mess of trouble, and by the end of Volume 1, a slide guitar helps the band pour out their souls to a bartender ("Hey There, Bartender"). For The Wyatts, the drinkin' and wailin' is never done.
