...basically tame--musicians, functionaries, and other characters that did little to challenge the status quo.

His debut album, Lonesome Wins Again, is 10 sticks of slow-fused Nashville dynamite from his own pen and those of top country songsmiths Don Schlitz and Jamie O'Hara. The best tunes, including Baby Don't You Know and I Won't, take you two-stepping back to 1957 -- rockabilly prime time...
