Simultaneously gritty, raw and subtle; dark and sharp, textured and atmospheric. Jazz-tinged traditional American blues… Dirty, moody notes filtered through rot-gut whisky in a shadowy, smoke-filled wrong-side-of-the-tracks bar. A great listen when you need to connect with your darker self, or when you need to be reminded to be grateful for what you’ve got.

Simply put, one of my favorite albums of 2006. To quote OffBeat Magazine, “If you play this CD with your windows wide open, don’t be surprised if your neighbors ask who you’re listening to.”
