I don't think so but he's a personal god, so no problem. Some people say Steve Earle. I don't think so but he's a personal god, too. And some people say Townes Van Zandt. I don't think so but he's the No. 1 personal god, so I'll take it. People have also said I sound like Sonny Terry, Mance Lipscomb, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, anybody whoever played a harmonica, etc. If one person really sounded like all these people, he'd be the result of a secret lab experiment and suffer from a psychiatric condition yet to be named. | | Record Label | Goodnight-Loving Records | | Type of Label | Indie |
