He can’t be pigeon-holed as his sound ranges from outlaw on the moonshine-laden “Lincoln County Lightning” to the more blue-eyed soul crooner on his “Long Slow Night”, to Americana on his tribute to small towns everywhere with “Still There. All of these songs telling stories to which his audience can relate.
