Sam Baker makes people happy. The characters in his songs face many challenges - alcoholism, car wrecks, racism, drug addiction, a mother's abandonment - but they persevere. Much like Sam himself.
In 1986 Sam Baker was on a train in Peru that was bombed by Shining Path Guerillas. Miraculously he survived and went on to become a great songwriter and is fast becoming one of the biggest underground Americana success stories of recent years. Imagine Steve Earle, Shane MacGowan and Johnny Cash jamming in a back street Texas bar when in comes Nick Cave and the spirit of Townes Van Zandt.
"Simultaneously beautiful and broken Sam Baker is an artist worth waiting for" (NPR All Things Considered)
"The Bard of the Workaday World" (Wall Street Journal)
"Maybe the most captivating songwriter in America." (Lone Star Music)
