This solid rootsy collection of eleven original songs comes from a long standing Dallas-born artist inspired by gospel, folk, soul, and blues.
Now based in California, Halford’s speciality is old school roots music pure and simple.
He is assisted by accomplished guest musicians as well as his son and daughter. Also on hand is long-time musical partner Adam Rossi, who not only played drums and keys but also co-produced the album.
Innovation is not the watchword here since, as his website bio proudly proclaims, “Halford is attempting to write songs that withstand the test of time.”

This means that his music harks back to his stated influences which includes artists such as Taj Mahal, Los Lobos, George Thorogood, Gregg Allman and Guy Clark.
Halford’s seasoned moody drawl ensures that an earthy authenticity pervades throughout.
