Justin Fallen - Country Hero

Alternative Country Soul from Austin, TX. The Country Hero is: West Texas, heroes & outlaws, bourbon, creek beds & rivers, cross-country hitchin, the sun in your eyes & the windows down, heat-stroke gospel prayers for rain on the radio, rolling thunder in the summer and songs that strike your heart clean open like lightning, keys & drums & guitars that leave the stage smoking, that sweet strike zone where country music meets rhythm & soul and sounds like rock & roll with harmonies overlapping like a venn diagram of everything you ever wanted to dance to ... Justin Fallen is a Virginia poet who learned to write songs in Texas. He writes and plays on a 1967 Epiphone Texan most of the time. Some songwriters he calls the greats: Leonard Cohen, Kris Kristofferson, Townes Van Zandt, Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young. He lives in Austin. His album The Country Hero is a mythic dream narrative set in a country tinged backdrop. Eleven tracks, it features performances from some of the finest Austin,Texas has to offer: the Hardproof Horns (Black Joe Lewis), Landry McMeans (the Lonesome Heroes), Bobby Fitzgerald (The Whiskey Shivers), Nicolette Good, and more.
