A former punk rocker with a gift for words Jon Keenan has traded in spiked hair and mosh pits for a remarkable record that is equal parts blues, folk and country. Keenan keeps the forms and songs simple letting his lyrical stories of everything from death and heartbreak to a journey through the new american landscape to come gleaming through. Keenan balances these stories with straight forward guitar work and brilliant harmonica playing. The first release of many to come for this brilliant young writer.
