Album Notes & Community Reviews

Following his departure from The Blasters and a brief stint with X, the acclaimed songwriter delivered his first solo effort steeped in dusty, cinematic Americana. 'Romeo's Escape' features stellar roots rock instrumentation, breathing new life into older compositions while introducing fresh, blues-drenched narratives. The album solidifies his reputation as a master storyteller of the American working-class experience.
