Texas native and Oklahoma resident Jayson Starkey is steeped in the music of Country, Blues and Rock N Roll and he draws from each of those on this single which has just come to our attention. Dirty 6th Street is a maudlin tale of a homeless person, singing Gospel songs on his 5 string guitar and trying to get by. The sedately paced song is on the rock n roll side of country with some telling slide guitar and a weary vocal befitting the subject matter. Starkey has a gift of seeing the everyday and turning it into something that we can all see and hear, something that the likes of Willie Nelson and Robert Earl Keen have obviously influenced. I look forward to hearing more from Jayson Starkey soon.
