Sounds Like: Alt-country blues maybe like Lucinda on a good day with the yearnings of Paula Cole and a hope for some SonVolt infusion when the band is backing me up. New sounds coming soon out of Colorado. Just got some funding for the next Cd thanks to Richard Barnes--ah ho! Looking for the real in all this psuedo sanctimonious record deal mania...seems like the world is constantly trying to put artists/musicians in a box.I say "To hell with all that! If I want to sing country, I'll sing country. If I feel like the blues then that's what I choose"
Freedom to live outside of the box is my ongoing passion. Many days I strive to rise above the mediocrity that is shoved in our American faces. "It takes a lot of LOVE", as David Gray says in one of his songs, to keep our hearts from going cold. If the music can warm just one numb part of my lonely existential soul and touch another in the process, then that's the only thing that really matters to me.
