Brain Straub is spending his time in prison following the same path, more or less. Using an antique soundboard he just finished putting the final touches on his debut album, Pilate Fish. It features him playing guitar, bass, drums, and singing — talk about a one-man show! The outcome is a lively mix of blues infused grunge sounds echoing strides of Ryan Bingham, Nickelback, Buddy Miller, and Johnny Cash without being any of them. BUY the album, I did!
