Dave Alvin - West Of The West

Dave Alvin's vocal style, cultivated from years working with The Blasters, X, and their side project The Knitters, is deep, smooth, and smoky and infiltrates your soul like a shot of Jack Daniels.

On West of the West his interpretations of Redneck Friend, Here in California, Sonora's Death Row, and Surfer Girl are tasty, sensual treats filled with subtle, solid emotion that transfer the listener to a spiritual, almost elegiac, altered state of mind. There were moments while listening that I imagined myself adrift on a raft in a cove of some idyllic paradise. ~ Full Review at BlogCritics
