Ledfoot - The Devil's Songbook (2007)

Ledfoot has a history in the music scene, also known as Tim Scott McConnell, playing with a variety of musicians throughout his life. This, in my opinion, is his quintessential evolution into raw, honest music (not that anything he did before wasn't of such, but as Ledfoot his musical voice is much stronger).

With practically nothing but his voice and a 12 string acoustic guitar (which he plays slide on - I'll add that doing such can be challenging, given tuning constraints), he creates haunting finger-picked structures underneath beautiful slide lead parts and a true-blue singing style that sells you the story of a broken down man. Seriously. Hit up YouTube and look up Ledfoot. There are a few official music videos of him up there, and they are worth the time to watch and listen.
