If the members of psych-folk hippie-jammers Akron/Family were ever to, say, accidentally witness some sort of horrible crime against humanity or something, the FBI's Witness Protection Program could probably do a lot worse than sending those boys on a tour like this one.

Their new album, Set 'em Wild, Set 'em Free, though,...
