Give as a gift
An unsung pioneer of 1970s Texas Progressive Country, Steven Fromholz had a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Revered by legends like Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett & John Denver, he remained commercially unknown. He sought redemption on the Rio Grande as a river guide until a debilitating stroke erased his musical memory, stripping Fromholz of his artistic identity.
Through newly discovered archives that include never-before-heard recordings, this intimate excavation of sorts is driven by an obsessive persistence, brings Fromholz back to life, and reshapes the notion of success and artistic fortitude.
