WINK KEZIAH & DELUX MOTEL
Working Songs For The Drinking Class
(Great South)

(NODEPRESSION.NET) -- On his latest release, North Carolina's Wink Keziah, with support from his band Delux Motel, proves not only that he has mastered a variety of musical styles, but also that he understands everyday life in rural America. Produced by Mark Stuart from the Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, the album reflects the influence of everything from honky-tonk to contemporary blues to bluegrass to the Bakersfield sound. Throughout, Keziah captures the highs and lows of the human experience with his poignant and perceptive tales of love and life -- tales that never stray too far from rich country soil in which they were cultivated. Although Keziah's distinctive nasal vocal delivery doesn't allow him to stand out from the crowd, he makes his mark with his ability to create honest and insightful music about people who work hard during the day and party even harder at night.
