Here's a quiet, little album of songs written and sung by Tim Howard with a down-head but not bummed out, Elliott Smith kind of vibe. A lot of acoustic guitar, a minimum of drums, and sparse arrangements provide a backdrop for understated vocals. It's lo-fi charm can be summed up by the lyrics, "Have you killed more men than Texas," and "I want to be drunk on important occasions." Contact: www.solterosongs.com      -Eric Holland
