Dale Watson is a Texas music hero. Over his long and prolific career, he"s proven himself to be one of the last authentic voices in pure country music. In fact, in the spirit of the music"s outlaw lineage, Dale has disavowed himself of the country label and begun calling his music Ameripolitan. However it might be described, on his latest album, From The Cradle To The Grave, it"s the music that speaks the loudest. Marking his HYENA Records debut, Dale offers ten new songs that range from the epic Justice For All to the achingly beautiful ballad, It"s Not Over Now. And if it sounds like Johnny Cash"s presence is looming over the recordings, that"s because it was. The album was recorded in Cash"s old Tennessee Mountain cabin that was lent to Dale by its current owner Johnny Knoxville. With that in mind, Dale embraced the Cash aura and in the process turned out one of his best albums to date in an already impressive discography.
