In a similar vein, I’ve previously pimped out Ron Hawkins to anyone who will listen. The former lead singer of Canadian indie legends, The Lowest of the Low, released a brilliantly sparse alt-country record last year that was recorded in the basement of his Toronto rowhouse.

Track One on the album, Ten Kinds of Lonely, “The Devil Went Down“.
