From last.fm:

A perfect blend of protest-folk, sad-bastard country, & punk rock blues. Fans of Woody Guthrie, Townes Van Zant, Tom Waits, X , and Billy Bragg should be more than pleased. "Local folk hero... heartfelt, poetic lyrics will strike a chord with the socially and politically aware as well as with the lonely and brokenhearted." -Pulse of the Twin Cities(2005) Read more on Last.fm.
