…One of 6 Day Bender’s biggest steps on E’ville Fuzz is a tendency toward a more expansive middle ground. They explore this territory with tracks like “Good Girl Blues,” an excellent tune that floats along on stretched-out slide guitar licks, the smoky, churning “Black,” and “Money, Buddy,” which begins with a simple Bo Diddley beat before the increasingly unhinged lead guitar and frequent F-bombs build to one of the album’s most visceral peaks…

Virginia countryside isn’t the only fuel that propels 6 Day Bender’s sound, though.
