Rayland Baxter’s new album, Imaginary Man, is due out August 14th.

The song below was inspired by a legendary Detroit musician named Sixto Rodriguez. It’s a little more atmospheric and spacey than his previous stuff, but his earnest lyrics and easy-going delivery still anchor everything.

You’ll probably like the song below, then you’ll want to hear another song from his new album by clicking here, and then you’ll probably want to pre-order the album here. It’s like that If You Give a Pig a Pancake book, but with great folk music.

RIYL: good music, Josh Ritter, John Prine, story-songs
