Johnny Dowd is an artist I wouldn't even try to describe. All I can say is sometimes he's on and sometimes not with his brand of Americana. The track below is one I believe where Dowd is very much on. The album title says it best because Dowd writes about characters and places that we do not, or I assume, do not encounter on a daily basis, perhaps every fortnight or two and no more.
Pictures From Life's Other Shide came out in 1999 on Koch Records. Dowd has released seven albums in all and is now currently on Bongo Beat. His first record came out when he was in his 40's. There is hope for all of us yet.
Worried Mind - (if this song doesn't make you feel cool there may be something wrong with you)
As always, if you like what you heard, you know what to do and where to go. you may as well go soon because it won't be around forever and then you'll have to order your albums off the net and we know that's just not as fun.

you made me start to think about the fact that he didnt release anything until his 40s. how many other musicians can be put in that category, not making their debut until middle age?
