You can't deny it. Holding a real CD in your hand feels good. The smell, the feel, the beautfull printing. You remember a time before every CD you owned had the title written in sharpie on it. That was a good time. Get some of that.
These American Times tour in-store performance. With David Ramirez
About The Record
This is my first solo record. I'm head over heels about it. Everything was recorded in Austin, TX at my house. Download it, burn it, put it on in your car or on your home stereo and turn it up loud.

Ryan Adams Cover with Jarrod Dickenson
Jarrod Dickenson and I shared Monday nights at Momo's in June. On our last night together we covered "Come Pick Me Up" by Ryan Adams. It was a good feeling.
