Kern's critically-acclaimed 13-song debut release on ALTCO Recordings, with an all-star crew of veteran supporting players including Tony Gilkyson (Bob Dylan, X); Jeffrey Paul Ross (Desert Rose Band, Rank And File); Stephen Silver (Merle Haggard, Phil Spector); and Jim Shirey (Steve Gillette, Phil Spector).
 
"Where Tom Waits' drawl and Leonard Cohen's lullaby echoes overlap. Heartfelt, underbelly Americana... after hearing those lyrics, Kristofferson is kicking his own ass for not penning such. Pick  up a copy of his new release now and thank me later."
- Jason Mater Robinson, NO DEPRESSION Magazine
