"Pictures of Saint Paul Street" is the sixth solo album from the former Mirrors/Gris-Gris mastermind Greg Ashley, an amalgam of tortured, Cohen-esque folk tinged with the beer soaked recklessness of a West Texas honky-tonk.

The songs on "Pictures of Saint Paul Street" are lush & beautiful autopsies of society's underbelly, with stark and brutally honest ruminations on humanity.

Ashley's songs move from ballads of hopeless misery to rallying anthems for the dispossessed.

The people & artists who move further to the fringe as power and greed overtake our planet.

RIYL: Kurt Vile, Lee Hazlewood, Leonard Cohen, Circuit des Yeux, Nick Cave, Bill Fay, Scott Walker
