• Track Listing

Drifter is the sound of a blues life searching for a gospel redemption. "It's me trying to figure out religion, women, my career, and everything I've gone through," Jovin says. The twelve tracks on Drifter evoke a blues classicism without ever feeling nostalgic or derivative. Jovin Webb dazzled millions of viewers on American Idol with his bayou mystique, his humility, and his distinctive gravelly vocals. Now, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana-based artist steps forward with his debut album, Drifter, produced by multi-Grammy winner Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, Kingfish). The 12-song collection is a vibrant mix of growling low-down blues, Jovin's wailing harmonica, heartfelt soul ballads, and rowdy, Little Richards-style rock n' roll.
