From stone cold honky tonk to some of the stoutest rock you’ll ever hear, Mike Stinson writes ’em and sings ’em like music is a life-and-death matter. Dwight Yoakam covered Stinson’s “Late Great Golden State.” After 18 years in Los Angeles, Stinson moved to Houston, Texas four years back, and the move spurred an amazing streak of creativity, which he captured on his fourth album with legendary roots producer R.S. Field.
