Cd baby has rave reviews of his back catalog and I will put it up against anyone is music in terms of quality albums not just singles BEFORE becoming a household name. I saw him and his band Perfect Trainwreck open for Levon Helm at his midnight ramble and they blew me away. Levon's staff even posted it was "the best opening set ever". He writes all his music/lyrics and plays all things stringed. hope you help spread the word.thanks Mike Hi I saw you mention Bow Thayer .Because he is independent most people think he is new as you said but he has been at this for MANY years.
