Let's get a few things about Natural Child out of the way: they're not retro, not the bastard sons of Lynyrd Skynyrd or ZZ Top, not barnstormers or foot stompers or country-fried bumpkins sharing their latest "stew." To some they are saviors, to others they're the soundtrack to countless substance- fueled nights. To themselves, they're a rock 'n' roll band, chugging along, in every sense of the word.
