Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reeling from the dissolution of his long-term marriage, the Texas singer-songwriter delivers a profoundly intimate and heartbreaking conceptual record. 'Thirteen Years' navigates grief and loss through an immaculate blend of roots rock, chamber strings, and dusty Americana.
