Editors' Review:
Before Chicago alt-country meant Wilco, it meant Robbie Fulks. And in the hardscrabble honky-tonker's hands, alternative has always meant something different too: his ditties are seamy and scuffed. Th... more »

Schlegel?s music isn?t easily tagged, but a guitar-driven, up-tempo, honky-tonk sound describes it best. Reminiscent of his inspirations, Ernest Tubb, George Jones, and Brooks and Dunn, Schlegel?s sou... more »
