Mud on the Tires

High-octane Telecaster shredding meets clever, small-town storytelling. A balance of witty observational comedy and devastatingly honest ballads.

July 22, 2003 · Arista Nashville

A clever and warm-hearted collection that balances lighthearted rural fun with moments of profound, quiet heartbreak.

Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the somber, haunting dobro intro of Whiskey Lullaby into the chilling vocal harmony with Alison Krauss.

The explosive, high-speed guitar duel during the bridge of Spaghetti Western Swing that showcases pure technical mastery.

The comedic timing of the spoken-word outtakes on Kung Pao that break the fourth wall of the recording session.
