Former Hot Water Music lead singer and current solo troubadour Chuck Ragan"s third studio album Covering Ground is as much of a love letter to his transient lifestyle as it is a concession to the loved ones he often has to leave behind and is also undeniably his most honest and accomplished album to date. The album is the sonic equivalent to Jack Kerouac"s On The Road and could only be created by someone bred into road life and who requires a release like this in order to stay sane doing it.
