The sixth album from Austin's own Tom Ovans. Often compared to Bob Dylan and Tom Waits, Tom creates his own soundscape, "... where Dylan traffics in personal mythology and gnomic mysticism, Ovans paints urban desolation with lines as spare and insinuating as century-old blues couplets." (The Weekly Wire)

As a chronicler and troubadour, Ovans has trod a rough and ragged musical path across the States. In the early ’70s in New York City he walked the walk with a junked-out Tim Hardin and knocked-out loaded Phil Ochs. Over the years he has drifted, been homeless, stood proud, lain low, dug deep but always moved on. Following stints on the east coast, west coast, a short spell in New Orleans and 18 long years in Nashville, Tom Ovans landed in Austin, Texas, ten years ago with his painter wife Lou Ann Bardash. Together, they continue to live on the edge, away from the spotlight, fame or glare. He only rarely gigs or tours.
