There’s a breed of artists and musicians who express truth in their art, sounds and perhaps their lives. Artists you can feel life’s pain, love, concern, passing fancies, fuck ups and become part of the atmospheres in which these toil. Howlin’ Lord is one of these souls. After what is probably his most accomplished work 2011’s Gold Fury and then the surreal and gut smashing grit of last year’s bare-bones Breakfast of Champions, It would seem that Howlin' Lord would need to cool down. Not this purveyor of hearty and persuasive noir honky tonk. The highly anticipated new one Hombre Solaire is out later in 2015 on Little Paradise Records. An album that has twitchy eagerness running high in this writer’s veins. Walter Price Global Texan Chronicles
