American Songwriter picked his song ‘Another Like You’ as the #1 Song of the Year and he charted in Spin and Rolling Stone Magazine top 50.

His most recent album has crop of new tunes that the acclaimed songwriter says are “a layman’s take on our country – a snapshot of America in some small way.” The result: the sharply drawn collection ‘KMAG YOYO (& Other American Stories)‘, his second release from Lost Highway/Universal. ‘KMAG YOYO’ (pronounced “kay-mag, yo-yo”) was the USA’s most played Americana album of 2011.
