This mesmerizing album is Jimmy's first new recording in 2 years! The Austin, Texas legend and king of soulful "Red Dirt" Roots Music returns with a panoramic collection of songs, spine-tingling ballads and all-out rockers that muse on / celebrate the restless American soul. Whether singing an aching song of the road, or a topical song taking a hard look at the war and our changing cultural landscape, or doing an innovative cover of a familiar classic by Donovan, Dylan or Joe South, this is Jimmy at his most cohesive and realized.

Texas-born, Oklahoma-raised, Jimmy LaFave is one of the iconic voices of the Lone Star State and a preeminent figure in Texas music. Twice-named "Singer-Songwriter of the Year" in Austin (a city filled with incredible songwriters!), his music is an intoxicating blend of soul, folk and rock.

"Jimmy LaFave is in the first rank of roots rockers to emerge from Austin, Texas. His songwriting shows equal passion for road-house rock and romantic balladry "
