Search - Rod Picott :: Hang Your Hopes on a Crooked Nail

The son of a welder from rural New England, Rod Picott is a masterful songwriter and soulful singer who carries with him as fine a suitcase of songs as you'll find anywhere. A former construction worker who hung up his tools when he released his debut CD in 2000, Picott has carved a career for himself with a run of 6 beautifully crafted self released CDs over the last 13 years and a well earned reputation as a engaging, emotion fueled performer. 'Hang Your Hopes On A Crooked Nail', produced by RS Field [Billy Joe Shaver, Justin Townes Earle, Hayes Carll], is a collection of carefully crafted songs of rugged truth and beauty. Recorded at Middletree Studios in East Nashville, the CD highlights Picott's particular gift for exploring complex themes in common language.
