notes
Doctor Oakroot was born in a taxi with no brakes, and, he says, "I been rolling ever since. I rolled right down to Hell, pulled up the devil by his tail and brought back some dark, dark songs."
Unsatisfied with the ordinary, Oakroot's been making his own music on his own homemade instruments ever since he was a kid. Mostly string instruments, and, recently, mostly cigar box guitars. When you get it down to a box a stick and a string, you have music with a rough edge that works at a primal level - nowhere to hide - and anything but ordinary.
Rough-edged songs from a dark place in the soul - songs to haunt your dreams. Some would call it blues, but some folks have a narrow definition of blues and Oakroot's music is anything but narrow.

Great playing but...
author: CBG enthusiastAll things considered, a very fun record that I'd buy again in a heartbeat. Great playing and very good songwriting with many enjoyable hooks, but the vocal skills could use some work.
