Giant Sand / Howe Gelb (lyrics, singer, country, rock, gospel)

I am a big fan of Giant Sand so therefore Howe Gelb. I have several records by Giant Sand including the latest *proVISION*. He is appearing in my town in late October and I am looking forward to this gig immensely. Of the albums that I have I would suggest that the strongest is The Love Songs from 1988 and Is All Over the Map from 2004 but I am bias enough to enjoy them all. His last album under his own name 'Sno Angel Like You is probably his most accessible. A wonderful record of Alt. Country rock with a Gospel Choir. Love his witty lyrics and Hood (a view from a Heidelberg hotel) from his Giant Sand album Is All Over The Map is a witty drunken drawl that has certain sad philosophical feel.

Any other fans of this oddball singer songwriter of Alt. county?
