Arlo Mckinley Cincinnati, Ohio
Arlo McKinley has washed his songs in the blood of street soul, country, punk and gospel – and tattooed them onto the
underground.

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes
supported by 31 fans who also own “Back Home”
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was.

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper
