Sure Fire Groove are a four-piece folk-blues and Americana outfit from Chicago. Their loose, relaxed style seems to have evolved from multiple sources, from contemporary roots acts like The Avett Brothers and Simon Felice’s various projects to Southern rock bands like the Allmans and the Black Crowes; their English counterparts, the Stones and Faces, together with a hint of Grateful Dead. That’ll be manna from heaven for many listeners, and Sure Fire Groove do everything possible to live up to expectations.

"Last Good Standing” tells a gritty story of love, hope, and revolution through 10 masterful tracks. Vocals entwine and harmonize beautifully, and the musicianship is subtle though never underplayed. Tracks include “Got to Get to Heaven,” a muscular blues-rocker which recognizes that its power lies in its restraint rather than slash and burn theatrics; “Sit,” which arrives on acoustic guitars, superb vocals and undeniable pop hooks; and “Call the Captain”, with deft guitar playing in a folk-rock vibe.
