He’s not a very well known artist as he hardly plays anywhere except occasionally around Austin or the hill country or overseas in the UK, but he is a great song writer/story teller.
His own story is pretty remarkable and his voice takes some getting used to, but there’s a reason for that:

He plays with Gurf Morlix from time to time.
His third cd “Cotton” was just released and the previous two are amazing. Check him out.
