The Austin Chronicle is an independent, locally owned and operated alternative newsweekly that reflects the heart and soul of Austin, Texas.
Streamlining its name from 25 Smokin’ Figurados, this local duo lassos enough Texas mojo to imbue their roots-heavy power rock with tobacco-stained bravado (“My Situation,” “People of Earth,” “She Plays With Fire”). Gregg Kirk’s sly vocals lend Lesson Two a distinctive fire, while partner Tim Abbott’s “Drift To Sleep” settles into a wistful tenderness.
