From the vigorous banjo-chase of "Devil on the Mountain" to the back porch romance of "Hey Baby I'm Falling" through the danceable lament of "All Alone For Christmas," Danny Barnes & Thee Old Codgers skillfully, if not masterfully create hot, high-energy Americana-bluegrass for anyone that is willing to listen.

Intricate instrumentation mixed with an intense soul for down home styling, Things I Done Wrong is the perfect hot afternoon party record, sitting on the deck or the porch cranking it loud, with a beer or lemonade, and thinking about the good times you've had and will have. I'll give it an A.
