The greatest American singer/songwriter/guitarist/storyteller/man about town/humourist you've never heard of, Stan Ridgway, recently unleashed his newest album, Neon Mirage. You have probably heard of his former band Wall of Voodoo's Mexican Radio, but the guy's been putting out amazing solo albums now for 24 years. Please give him a listen, buy some of his stuff, I dearly want him to continue making music.
Drive She Said from The Big Heat
Can't Stop the Show (Live) - original version from The Big Heat
Goin' Southbound from Mosquitos
Camouflage from The Big Heat
Beloved Movie Star from Holiday in Dirt
Talkin' Wall of Voodoo Blues from Snakebite: Blacktop Ballads and Fugitive Songs
Lonely Town from Mosquitos
Train of Thought (Live) original version from Anatomy
