Texas is home and roots rock is about as near as I can peg this guy. Had not heard him before but been knockin on the doors for awhile. Since the 70's actually with a punk band called the Nuns. Later with a band called True Believers who toured with Los Lobos. Looks like this is his 10th album. Some name dropping here with Tony Visconti Producing, Bob Clearmountain mixing and my man Ian Hunter has a guest spot on Down In The Bowery, which is my favorite track. None other than The Boss shows up on Faith (not on this clip). A couple of really good songs here, which both cut off short, but it just falls short of a passing grade for me.
