Once again, Lindley serves up a bracing mix of obscure R&B, blues, New Orleans boogie, and old pop nuggets. He also wrote half of these ten songs, and all stand as equals to his carefully chosen covers. El Rayo-X-bass player Jorge Calderon, drummer Ian Wallace, and second guitarist Bernie Larsen--is the other important ingredient that makes WIN THIS RECORD work as well as it does. "Spodie" is a perfect vehicle for Lindley's sassiest guitar sounds, "Ram-A-Lamb-A-Man" is hipster talk through a swampy filter, and "Talk To the Lawyer" gets topical but never forgets to be fun and funky. The album closes with a gorgeous Lindley-penned solo-acoustic instrumental, "Look So Good."
