Reverend Hylton/Tracy Marie/Mason District

Singer-songwriter Reverend Hylton spent his twenties traveling the country, playing his guitar and gaining "valuable life experiences." In other words, the guy led a gypsy-like existence that often found him overindulging. Now free from addiction, he's touring and recording with a newfound sense of commitment. He documents that time period on his twangy new album, Stubborn Nail, a collection of harmonica and fiddle-driven tunes that showcase his raspy voice and storytelling skills. (Niesel)
