The best way to approach Moody Motorcycle is to check your expectations at the door. Yes, Jim Guthrie and Nick Thorburn are great songwriters, and the material here is melodic, light and fun.

Before the August release of Human Highway's Moody Motorcycle, it's likely more than a few people wondered if Jim Guthrie would ever return to the music scene.

But two of the country's best songwriters recently came together to form something new... a super-duo. Human Highway are Jim Guthrie and Islands frontman Nick...
