Unwanted

Description

« Signed version »: Dale Watson is a living legend of American roots music. With a typically Texan energy and determination, he has spent four decades championing his own style of honky-tonk, outlaw country, western swing, and rockabilly. This unique sound has a name - « Ameripolitan » - and its creator is Watson himself: singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, actor, cultural architect, and unconventional traditionalist, he defends traditions that oppose the homogeneity of the mainstream. With « Unwanted », he offers us a new explosive album, mixing country and honky-tonk, fueled by heartaches, hard-learned lessons, and the thrills of a life spent on the road. With a powerful voice capable of cutting through the noise of a crowded dance hall, Watson leads the dance like a true conductor of roots-rock. He celebrates his vices on the catchy track « Willie Waylon and Whiskey », reflects on a life of losses with the beautiful ballad « If You Really Loved Me (Outlive Me) », and indulges in a melancholic contemplation on « Life is Like a Song ». Entirely written and produced by Watson, Unwanted is the reflection of a pure Ameripolitan, full of energy, racing towards a horizon he has shaped himself.
