Trouble No More

A weathered collection of blues and folk covers. Gritty, stomp-heavy, and recorded with a raw, back-porch intimacy that feels older than its release date.

It's Mellencamp doing the blues, but it sounds like he's actually lived them this time.

A gritty, weathered exploration of American roots music that feels both ancient and urgent.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The swampy, distorted slide guitar that opens Stones in My Passway, setting a dark and humid tone.
The hypnotic, rhythmic chanting on John the Revelator that feels like a secular exorcism.
The stark contrast between the traditional folk melody and the biting contemporary lyrics of To Washington.
