Unwanted Limited Edition

Description

"Signed Version" Dale Watson is a living legend of American roots music. With a defiance and determination worthy of Texas, he has spent four decades wielding his own style of honky-tonk, outlaw country, western swing, and rockabilly. This signature sound has a name — "Ameripolitan" — and its originator is Watson himself: singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, actor, cultural architect, and uncompromising traditionalist for the modern world, defending traditions that go against the homogeneous mainstream. With Unwanted, he delivers a new double-barreled blast of country and honky-tonk bang, fueled by heartaches, hard-earned lessons, and the high-speed thrills of a life largely on the road. Singing with a thunderous voice capable of piercing the chaos of a crowded dance hall, Watson leads the show like a roots-rock frontman. He pays tribute to his vices on the gallop "Willie Waylon and Whiskey," reflects on a life of losses with the beautiful ballad "If You Really Loved Me (Outlive Me)," and becomes a dreamer of nostalgia on "Life is Like a Song." Entirely written and produced by Watson, Unwanted is the sound of an unconditional American with still plenty of life in the tank, racing toward a horizon he has created himself.
