Earl Pickens LIVE at Acoustic Long Island

Man, Earl's not just a great songwriter - he's got character. He had the whole crowd at the mansion wrapped up in his tales of love, life, and "The Devil's Convoy." In fact, his set almost reminded us of the Prarie Home Companion: part music, part story, lots of laughs, and a little "is this real, or imagined?" Listen in for an extremely listenable evening, with songs from Earl's latest CD Turn On The Radio and his earlier Country Music Jukebox. Accolades for Earl: Pickens, a natural when it comes to engaging the crowd, has a performance style reminiscent of The Reverend Horton Heat, who preaches to the congregation through his rockabilly music. However, Mr. Pickens is more cattle-driving herdsman than brimstone-spitting evangelist. He wields his guitar like its an electric cattle prod. Instead of Amens, he energizes the crowd with Yeehaws! - Annabelle Magazine; Skilled and clever songwriting.—The Village Voice; A DANG GOOD TIME —TimeOut New York.
