Details:
Raised in the hill country of Arkansas, Jerry Joe Reno intertwines stories of his hard-scrabble life with brilliant word-play that sounds like the bastard child of Dylan and Dante. But his passionate and sometimes playful vocal delivery leave no doubt as to his compositional sincerity. Reno''s songwriting cohort, Stuart Benson Martin, contributes multi-instrumental support that sounds like the simultaneous blending of Johnny Cash, Last Train Home, the Eagles, and AC/DC. A Reno show leaves the audience with the feeling that they have witnessed a uniquely American character and his story. All of this is set to a tremendously appealing and varied musical score that finds Martin constantly switching between banjo, mandolin, Telecaster, 12 string, and organ.
