Details Lead Performance: Charlie Sexton Sextet

Those who've dismissed Sexton as just another pretty-boy rock poseur should give this a listen. Aside from the occasional Dylan and Springsteen affectations, Sexton delivers a moving mix of Celtic-flavored folk, grunge, and blues. Producer Malcolm Burn blankets Sexton's ruminations with a sumptuous array of textures, giving the admittedly handsome rocker both alternative and AAA credibility.
