Southern Indiana-bred singer-guitarist Reverend Peyton is the bigger-than-life frontman of Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. He has earned a reputation as both a singularly compelling performer and a persuasive evangelist for the rootsy country blues styles that captured his imagination early in life and inspired him and his band to make pilgrimages to Clarksdale, Mississippi to study under such blues masters as T-Model Ford, Robert Belfour and David "Honeyboy" Edwards. The Front Porch Sessions maintains a potent level of intensity throughout, from the upbeat optimism of the album-opener "We Deserve a Happy Ending" to the blunt slice-of-life rural reality of "One More Thing" to the rollicking, playful swagger of "Shakey Shirley," "One Bad Shoe" and "Cornbread and Butterbeans." Meanwhile, the instrumentals "It's All Night Long" and "Flying Squirrels" demonstrate the Rev's nimble, imaginative guitar work.", Design: Terri Morris (2), Engineer, Mixed By: Dan Figurelli, Mastered By: Brian Lucey, Performer: The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band, Photography By: Tyler Zoller, Producer, Mixed By: Reverend Peyton, Written By: Blind Willie Johnson, Written By: Bob Pratcher, Written By: Furry Lewis, Written By: Miles Pratcher, Written By: Reverend Peyton, Written By: Traditional, Labelcode FAOW1.2 (FOR001, FOR001)
