Don’t Rock the Jukebox

A definitive neotraditionalist statement. Warm baritone vocals, weeping pedal steel, and blue-collar stories that reject rock influence in favor of pure country soul.

A steady, sincere blend of honky-tonk defiance and quiet, small-town reflection.

Moments Worth Listening For
The ghostly, minor-key fiddle and wind-howl effects that open the Hank Williams tribute Midnight in Montgomery.
The defiant, rhythmic stop-start of the title track when the drums kick in after the first line.
The weary, lived-in baritone delivery on Working Class Hero that captures the weight of a thirty-year career.
