Description:
Where the new generation of Texas roadhouse troubadours more often carries the torch passed from Jerry Jeff Walker and Robert Earl Keen, the harder-edged and more introspective Jack Ingram shows the strong influence of Steve Earle (who produced an earlier Ingram album). Those who miss the boyish Earle of Guitar Town will hear echoes in the opening anthem, "Keep On Keepin' On," and the closing lullaby, "Goodnight Moon." In between, Ingram puts his brand on a wide range of material, from the propulsive uplift of "One Thing" (which sounds like a signature hit in the making) to the two-stepping twang of
