"If Hardy's solo debut Audition Tapes was a high and lonesome mellow-roast with musical touchstones like Harvest-era Neil and driving down a windy back road alone, Drownin On A Mountaintop blasts out of the garage like some high-octane muscle car full of friends, blasting Mott The Hoople on the way to the last-call dive bar." - Patterson Hood, Drive By Truckers.
