Press Reviews The release of Y2Kow seals the Kudzu Kings fate as the Rocky Balboa of the country rock world: scrappy fighters with the heart and sincerity lacking in flashier, better-known and better-funded bands. Y2Kow's an album that I'd stack up against anything Nashville will release this year-alt.culture.guide
