The Souvenirs - King of Heartache



This is one album that I return to time and again. Their sound is retro and moody; a honky tonk vibe laced throughout with reverb. A lush Bakersfield sound. As a young boy, I grew up listening to tunes very similar in style and sound. As far as I know, it's their only official release (1999).

If you are so inclined, search for the artist and album name via Amazon.com to hear a 30 second preview of each track by selecting the"Listen to Samples" link.
