Slainte, Baby’s bio casually drops that songwriter Paul Reeves “honed his craft with the honor of mentorship by the late, great Merle Haggard,” and that legacy rings through. “Sure Took A Long Time” is the standout: warm, full-bodied, and worth a toe-tap. Jessica Reeves’ vocals glow with depth and control, while Paul’s songwriting leans into vintage stylings without sounding dated. “It Ain’t Lost On Me” dials it down with ballad-level tenderness, revealing emotional range. There’s warmth here, a worn-in, lived-through musicality that hints at a love for the golden age of soul-rock.
