Mr. Lucky (2009)

His music draws heavily on rockabilly, classic country, and pop, with an old-school reverb-heavy guitar sound that recalls the Sun Records era. He has also appeared in films and television, but his core output is a catalog of original songs built around his distinctive tenor voice.
