Heaven's Town by Anthony Sutton
This is a country blues and folk jazz record. I learned these songs over my many years bumming around America. The chord structures, melodic passages, lyrical content, and history of the songs and their composers are the touchstone of my creativity and the foundation of my artistic lexicon. They are the constellations; fixed and quiet, forgettable and unyielding, the pillars of the sky that make navigable a brambled world. It’s an honor to play these songs.

Born with the restlessness of the songs he sings, Sutton left his rural Indiana hometown to hitchhike and wander the country at a young age. Anthony has worked primarily as a street musician as many of his musical idols have. To overcome the noise of city sidewalks Sutton’s playing and singing is loud, crisp, and controlled. He has a song and story for every mile.
