Hard To Please illustrates the band's diversity both sonically and instrumentally, seamlessly mixing saxophones, trumpets and trombones with steel guitars, banjos and mandolin. Enthused by the expansion of their musical family and inspired to incorporate the album's lush depth of instrumentation, The Black Lillies expanded their touring outfit as well. The band is now a six-piece featuring multi-instrumentalists Sam Quinn (the everybodyfields), Mike Seal (Jeff Sipe Trio, Larkin Poe) and Jonathan Keeney (Robinella).
