Now
his days as a lonesome wandering storyteller are over. While his first album
came in in a singer-songwriter style, his new album will grab you and will get
under your skin. 12 tales on a backdrop of melancholy, desolate plains and
meandering rivers, Folk - Americana lead by a distinctive voice and not far of
the sound of the “Mermaid Avenue” albums by Wilco and Billy Bragg and the harmonies
of The Jayhawks.
The melodies of this
self-educated ballad maker draw you in, touch your soul and will stay with you.
