| | Only A Hobo - Dave Alvin |
 | | In the years since Dave Alvin formed the much-lauded seminal L.A. roots-rock band, The Blasters, with his brother Phil in 1979, each album has shown a marked creative progression as he develops his skills as a songwriter, musician and singer. |
 | | His first albums on HighTone, 1991's Blue Blvd. ("Haley's Comet," "Wanda and Duane," "Dry River") and 1993's Museum of Heart ("Thirty Dollar Room," "Six Nights a Week") were similar landmarks of progress. |
 | | Alvin is a master storyteller, and all of the songs on the new album combine a modern folk style with elements of traditional folk, blues, rock, and country music. |
