This guy is a musical enigma to me. I stumbled across him a few years back while Googling Drunk Alice (a Wayne Hancock reference to his upright bass players bass). Yeah I know. Weird. But this guy's band was call Drunk Alice. Sweet. I thought I'd take a listen. Holy shit, I fell in love. Blues-rock-folk. Every song was well written and like taking a trip through a story book. One favorite song of his popped up on the ol iPod recently and I decided to look him up again. There's not much info out there. Found a few pages and found out he has renamed his "band" Fair Clara and has an album on iTunes (which I promptly picked up). Fair Clara is also on Facebook with a ton of videos Calico has posted. I'm telling ya, this guys voice and songwriting talent blows me away.... sincere with a little whimsy. I think he'd do just fine getting a few gigs around our musical neighborhood. Anyway, here a few links. Take a look and listen:

Oh, and here is that favorite tune I was telling you about.
