It’s a droning and ominous road song where Wynn’s narrator talk-sings himself awake to the AM radio, popping pills as the landscape rolls by. “Put Some Miles On” amplifies that new energy. “The Way In” is the sound of a band shedding its skin and emerging renewed, refreshed, and more dangerous than before. This road-burnished lineup is arguably a better and stronger music machine than they were, even, in their 1980s heyday. “Tryin’ to reconcile the past with the present,” Wynn sings, “Which one fits and which one doesn’t / And we shed our skin just to find a way in.” Wynn, Dennis Duck, Mark Walton, and Jason Victor have become, over five years of touring, one of the most vibrant live bands out there.

Certainly, fans who cherished the bands’ four 1980s records found a lot to reconnect to, but Wynn has always looked forward more than back.
