Cowboy Buddha "Just Enough To …"(Lopie Records) – The wait is over. Fans of Cowboy Buddha were introduced to the alt-country outfit courtesy of the band's first two discs (1999's "Guns Ammo Bait Film Gifts Snacks Maps" and 2000's "Cement Pond"), but likely had given up hope on the troupe releasing any new music in the wake of frontman Fletcher Harrington's trio of '00s solo releases.

However, based on the strength of all nine original tracks on "Just Enough To …," it was well worth the wait to hear Harrington (vocals, acoustic guitar), Gary Hollon (electric guitar), Jim Schmerbauch (drums), Bob McAlister (bass) and Neil McQueen (keyboards) unleash their magic together again.

Highlights include the haunting "Sweetheart Smile," Neil Young-styled country rocker "Crying Shame," affecting "The Living End" and shining "Big Dixie Rain." The songs and performances are uniformly strong, and the album's production – notably the way keyboards and guitar parts are woven in with Harrington's vocals – is especially effective.
