Dignity and Shame [CD]

On his fouth full-lenth, he's supported by a cast of returning players from his 2003 breakthrough release. Embracing great traditions of American music from Appalachian folk, southwestern blues, country, and good old rock 'n' roll, Crooked Fingers take their place alongside artists as respected as Bruce Springsteen, Calexico, and Wilco, while maintaining a kinship with new storytellers.
