about

This is the first album by Douglas Lowell Blevins - it's a folk/blues/rock concept album about an outcast always on the run, set in the late 19th/early 20th century. If you like your albums to sound like mini-movies, try this one out. If you don't, try it out anyway - it's a streaming music world we live in now, what have you got to lose?!?

(there's a PDF file with the album download - it's an accompanying narrative from the point of view of the main character. The music is the straight documentary, the narrative is the old-guy-at-the-bar telling the tall tale. The "truth" is probably somewhere between)
