This one's getting more airplay, both here and in Europe. Richard Milne of WXRT in Chicago calls it "a delicious collection of distinctly American music." There’s the spare roots-pop of "Piece of the Sun," the toothless holler and stomp of "Autumn in August," the reggae-billy "Coat," the electric folk-blues of "Ambidextrous," the tipsy waltz "I Wanna Marry a Waitress," and more. As in the past, various Chicago area music pals contribute accordion, cello, dobro, mandolin, hollerin', dulcimer, crowbar, lap steel, horns, cardboard box, etc. to the loose guitar, bass and drums framework. Currently he is promoting "Scrawny," playing gigs all over, fixin' to start work on his next release, and occasionally playing in the swillbilly band "Dick Smith," who’ve recently released their debut CD "Swill" on Clayhead Records.
