A DANG GOOD TIME (TimeOut New York)

About Me


Hi. Earl USA Pickens here. Thanks for stopping by my myspace page. I like your page too. I especially like that picture of you. Very flattering. Are you a model?
Check out the video for my new song "Can I Turn On the Radio?" You're gonna LOVE it. I made it just for you. It's got unicycles and everything. Well, just one unicycle. But that's a lot of unicycles for a music video.
Check out my upcoming gigs and see when I am coming to your town, so we can hang out together. It will be great. Just like old times.
The folks in my top 12 are my actual friends and I recommend them to you. Check them out. Tell them Earl sent you.
If you like my music, stop by my web site, my record label's web site, or your local online music store to buy my albums. After you buy them you can love them forever. Then, this time we spent together here in myspace will not have been wasted.
In the meantime, here are some nice things nice people have said about my music before you got here:
“Skilled and clever songwriting.”
—The Village Voice
“A DANG GOOD TIME”
—TimeOut New York
“He wields his guitar like it’s an electric cattle prod. Instead of “Amens,” he energizes the crowd with “Yeehaws!”
—Annabelle Magazine
“Enigmatic, yet oddly brilliant”
—Long Island Entertainment
“Heaps of fun and a whole lot of trouble.”
—Flavorpill
“Visceral music and songs about bowling.”
—Antimatters
“Roots-rock charged by competence and charm.”
—No Depression Magazine
“The songwriting is stellar, and Earl’s voice is very soulful. There’s a convincingness to the performances that are very heartfelt and real.”
—Bruce Warren, Program Director, WXPN Philadelphia
“just filled with good songs.”
—David Dye, host World Cafe
Speaking about Country music Jukebox on his nationally syndicated NPR music program, World Cafe, Mr. Dye praised Earl’s solo debut and gave “Come On Up and Haunt Me Tonight” an on-air spin.
"Earl is very nice. You should buy his cds."
—Earl's Grandmother
