Terry Lee Hale & The Blind Doctors - Old Hand (1999)

Old Hand is a mature, dark, and atmospheric album, combining American roots music (heartland rock, blues, folk) with a European approach to alternative rock.
The songs are anchored by Terry Lee Hale's raspy, narrative vocals and his expressive twelve-string guitar playing.
The members of The Blind Doctors added a dense wall of sound, using twitchy electric guitars, a Hammond organ, a cello, and a powerful drum section.
The songs range from quiet, melancholic acoustic ballads to explosive, grimy garage rock numbers.
