Jon Dee Graham - Hooray for the Moon - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This acoustic EP features 5 songs recorded for KUT radio plus three new studio recordings from April 20, 2005, including the scathing InchBetrayed.Inch

Gruff voiced singer Jon Dee Graham is a songwriter and intense guitar player likely to induce bone crushing rock and delicate ballads all in the same set. He's a former member of the Skunks and True Believers and has played guitar with Jon Doe, Exene, Calvin Russell and many more. Graham currently tours with his own band, solo acoustic or with the Austin supergroup The Resentments.

Along with peers James McMurtry, Lucinda Williams, Alejandro Escovedo and Steve Earle, Graham has made a long series of records that artfully combine his personal tale with universal truth... it's perhaps the first time Graham let's his music open up and stretch out like a lazy Sunday morning in bed with the newspaper and a big mug of coffee. Garage SaleInch is supple. Graham takes his time with beds of hymn-like organ, Crazy Horse-style jamming, and instrumental lap steel. It's still a Jon Dee Graham record, complete with moments of punk abandon and pointed turns of phrase. But it's also something new.Inch - No Depression
