Release Notes:

A man and his guitar better have something to say if
he`s going at it alone. The Tennessee-bred Stephen
Simmons does, with richly descriptive character and
faith driven songs that play in the great tradition
of the Texas progressive country movement. His
rough-hewn twang-touched vocals and acoustic
delivery bring to mind folks like Steve Earle and
Ryan Adams, perhaps with more tender touch on the
acoustic guitar. His introspective material draws
you in through solemn reflection while he seems to
be balancing a Christian upbringing with the darker
questions and realities of life. His lyrics are
imbued with emotional potency as he weaves gospel
imagery with outlaw poetry. At times his songs sound
like personal prayers. And given his sincerity and
humble delivery these songs of faith become palpable
and unforced leaving you hopeful that he finds the
strength he seeks.
