BIO
"Denton-based singer-songwriter, John Earle Mainord bills himself as a musician "in the vein of Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, John Prine, and Jerry Jeff Walker". Them's fightin' words in Texas, not to mention setting a mighty high bar, but Mainord ably rises to the challenge on his third album. From the last call weariness of "Cigarettes & Beer" to the hardscrabble closer "WIll to Fight", Mainord does his inspirations proud."
