The gloriously named Back pOrchEstra feels very much like a labor of love. That very name suggests a group of friends sitting on a porch, perhaps drinking something boozy or perhaps not, but certainly chilling in the warm air and enjoying each other’s company while rattling through some rootsy tunes for no one’s pleasure but their own. The songs only serve to solidify that image. “Ever Think About it” and “What Does Your Heart Say?” are fun swing-alongs; catchy, honest, and earthy, but also skillfully composed and not at all cheesy. The production is a bit rough, but you can’t have everything.
