Broken Heart Tattoos
You are unborn and yet to be scarred With tattoos The blood in your arm, hell, it's good and it's warm And still free to choose So take your sweet... See the rest of the song lyrics

    He hasn’t run from success as much as escaped its grip to release music that’s honest, raw and comes straight from the heart.

    There's nothing fake about the purgatorial narrative of songs such as "Nobody Knows My Trouble" and "My Diamond Is Too Rough." [Feb 2015, p.74]

    Fear and Saturday Night is a smaller-scale album than 2012's Tomorrowland and it's lighter, too, finding the Americana singer/songwriter settling into a comfortable ragged groove.

    While the material heads nowhere new, there's a good feeling to all that's happening. [Mar 2015, p.99]
