The country singer performs a variety of Bakersfield-style classics, including "Almost Persuaded," a 1950s hit for Faron Young, the working man's lament "Big City," and the end-of-the-road tear jerker "We Never Touch at All." His gritty, muscular delivery and often surprisingly sentimental lyrics have gained him legendary status in the decades since his early-1960s success, and his timeless subjects--working, drinking, love, and loss--ensure he'll continue to be discovered by successive generations.
