Alan Rhody is one of today’s more effective and respected solo acoustic artists in that great expanse known as the singer-songwriter.

“Boxcars Of Memories”, the latest of his eight album releases, showcases his “pull you in” story telling, his uncommon honesty and poetic tenderness, as well as his deepseeded kick-out-the-jams side. His emotive guitar playing and wise and rugged vocals also demonstrate why this collection is destined to further validate his already solid reputation. Whether singing the disc’s six new originals (including a co-write with Tom Russell) or the four covers by Paul Siebel, Bob Dylan, Freddie Pompeii and Kris Kristofferson, his singing, playing and message all shine.

Rhody’s music has taken him to every corner of North America, to festivals, concert halls, schools, coffee houses, saloons, universities and house concerts as well as national television and radio. And though his songwriting has earned him recognition and many Gold and Platinum Record Awards, Rhody still loves making that connection in a live performance setting.
