Dave Hardin is one of the those rare talents that seems to surface every ten years or so. The ability to write great songs with lyrics inspired by true life events and a voice that is instantly recognizable. His probing stories of real life, fueled by real emotion, a unique glimpse into everyday events and his poetic explanation are truly profound. Hardin's voice gets inside your bones. It's a tuneful rasp with a touch of twang, it's like John Prine with more air and less dirt.
