The first track of thealbum, Jump Right In is a song that sounds like something out of Jimmy Buffet’sstable, but with better harmony on the arrangement. Goodbye In Her Eyes is alsoone of the best songs by the band in terms of a song that implies heartbreakand oozes sadness possessed by someone with one foot already out the door. Itis doubtlessly one of the best songs that encompasses the theme that the bandhas ever recorded. This is topped by a song that is already climbing the chartstitled The Wind, which sets the bar in terms of arrangement as well as vocals,sets the bar for doubters of the bands skills and abilities. Two of the albumsclosing tracks, Day That I Die and Last But Not Least focus on the meaning ofevery day miracles that people tend to take for granted and usually overlookinstead of being grateful for them.
If you had to sum up‘Uncaged’ in one (and only one) word all that would come to mind would becomfort. Comfort in sound. That is what is reflected in this band’s capable yetunoriginal mixture of the genres and sounds of country, bluegrass, and jam bandrambling. Moving on, you are smacked by their comfort in terms of presentation,which is casual to a fault. Lastly, the album, like its predecessors, hascomfort in attitude, which at a subconscious level literally drawls ‘relax,man’.
