Best known as the son of Lubbock mafioso Terry Allen, Bukka Allen has long been an in-demand sideman who's worked with the Bodeans, Joe Ely, and Jack Ingram, while anchoring Austin instrumental trio and label Screen Door Music..

Arty, airy and ethereal, Bukka Allen’s first solo record since 1999’s Sweet Valentine is a moody, introspective, highly poetic collection of originals. Like his father Terry, Bukka is a master of dark, brooding melody and lyrics that cut to the ethical quick with surgical elegance, such as “Slip through the hands of an angel/Land on your back upside down” from “Behold What You Found”.
