notes
Poorboy Shanty is Jalan Crossland's second recording. A raw and energetic satchel of tunes with folk and bluegrass roots, its compass of Americana stylings includes eight original songs, two original instrumentals, and four traditional American and Irish numbers.
Like all his albums, Poor Boy Shanty is anchored by Jalan's colorful, evocative and lyrical compositions. With plenty of sparkling fingerstyle guitar, his award-winning flat picking and characteristic six string banjo playing also color Jalan's homespun-21st-century point of view.
Ben Winship (National Champion, mandolin) and Tucker Smith (Wyoming State Champion, banjo) contribute their fine musicianship and creative interaction to the recording. Other friends and band mates further infuse Poor Boy Shanty with hill-hippy glee.

Best CD I have bought in along time. I ordered 2 more of his. Love his music!
author: wendyI'm a huge John Prine fan and Jalans music reminds me of him a lot. Great lyrics, great stories, nice husky voice and awesome music. You can't keep your foot still while listening to this!
