TJ McFarland writes small stories of murderers, thieves, and corruption. Influenced by Woody Guthrie and pre-electric Dylan, McFarland continues the tradition of the troubadour or storyteller with his tales of the common man`s woes. His rich voice, combining an acoustic guitar and fiddle, allow the words to float forward, focusing on the story. A great step forward from his excellent 2005 release Rosenbaum`s Gin. -- Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music (self-released)
