Dignity and Shame

Crooked Fingers is Eric Bachmann. On his fourth full-length, he's supported by a cast of returning players from his 2003 breakthrough release, Red Devil Dawn and a few new faces who bring a depth and intensity to his songs. Embracing great traditions of American music from Appalachian folk, southwestern blues, country, and good old rock 'n' roll, Crooked Fingers take their place alongside artists as respected as Bruce Springsteen, Calexico, and Wilco, while maintaining a kinship with new storytellers like Songs:Ohia, My Morning Jacket, and Will Oldham.
