Title: drinkin' hard in smoky bars
Review: an outstanding example of why the music some like to call alt-country or americana is so damn good -- this guy has nailed down the mournful relationship thing and actually sounds like he's lived some of this. But this disc is not just a country confessional -- there's plenty of humor here too, and some rocking, too. Texas Traveling Troubador should be a classic picked up by some of those older country rebel types. Easily could see Tom Russell (who's mentioned in the song) playing this one. Great artwork on the cover too. This might just be a little label offering, but these songs are in the league with the big boys. This guy can write 'em.
