With his career-defining third record, Sam Morrow should cement his place as a member of Los Angeles' Country elite. 'Concrete and Mud' is a confident album, rooted in Texas twang, Southern stomp, and old-school Funky-Tonk. Recorded largely live in the studio on a vintage Neve 8068 console with producer/engineer Eric Corne (John Mayall, Joe Bonamassa, Lucinda Williams) at the helm, it also shines a light on Morrow's strength as a songwriter, front-man, and bandleader. -
