Singer/songwriter Joel Henderson spent his formative years bouncing around America's heartland before establishing roots in the musically fertile soil of Louisville, Kentucky. Raised on a diet of <a href="spotify:artist:3eqjTLE0HfPfh78zjh6TqT">Bruce Springsteen</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:52BKc9OtCbQstAAPTIvLGH">James McMurtry</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3lPQ2Fk5JOwGWAF3ORFCqH">John Mellencamp</a>, Henderson's own take on Americana puts the magnifying glass to matters of the heart, head, and soul, and relationships and expectations, both failed and met. Employing a dusty, heartfelt blend of country, rock, and windswept alt-pop, Henderson put out a self-released EP, High Risk, before releasing his full-length debut, 2012's Locked Doors & Pretty Fences. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
