• Track Listing

We usually think of blues and rock ’n’ roll when we think of this Blasters founder/guitarist/songwriter, but he dips into country and folk, too, on this 1994 solo LP. This unplugged, heartfelt Americana gem includes "Border Radio," "Fourth of July," "Goodbye Again," "East Texas Blues," "Mother Earth," "Little Honey," the title track and more songs written for this album and collected from Alvin’s illustrious past. This anniversary edition brings "King of California" to (double) vinyl for the first time and boasts three bonus tracks: the unreleased instrumental "Riverbed Rag" and covers of Merle Haggard’s "Kern River" and Katy Moffatt’s "The Cuckoo"! Craft.
