Each track on Unwanted Man stands on its own as a work of instrumental and vocal poetry. Highlights include the powerful duet with Lorrie Morgan, Dress For The Rain, and the title track Unwanted Man. It’s Still Country To Me and Let’s Get Rowdy are a stompin’ tip of the cowboy hat to all the country greats, to the rich traditions of Nashville and the best in American country music.
