Where the self-titled debut relied on funky grooves, Kent relies on good ol' Memphis soul. It's like they took a little bit of Stax and brought it to Ardent Studios for the recording sessions. That's not to say the funk is gone. But it is the expansion on the sound that marks the biggest improvement. Producers and mixers Ross Rice and Eric Flettrich deserve credit for giving BAT a fuller sound.
Individuals deserve credit, too.
Guitarists Robby Grant and Steve Selvidge lead the way, but it is the subtle play of keyboardist Chris Parker that adds that fine Memphis touch. Colin Butler again provides inspired samples and scratching. Fortunately, it's just as much fun to listen to. Big Ass Truck are truly a band to watch. If they continue to make the kind of strides they made from their debut to Kent , there's no telling how good they can become.
