Album Notes Personnel: Billy Bob Thornton (vocals); Randy Mitchell (guitars, keyboards, electric bass, programming); Matt Laug (drums, percussion). Actor/singer/songwriter Billy Bob Thornton's musical personality is not too dissimilar to his onscreen persona. On HOBO, Thornton's deep, twangy voice delivers country-folk noir visions full of spooky vibes and seedy-underbelly atmosphere, musical worlds that could easily be occupied by one of the Arkansas polymath's cinematic characters. The fact that this release marks Thornton's third venture into troubadour turf stands to prove that he's not just a one-shot dilettante.
Editorial Reviews 3 stars out of 5 -- 'El Centro On Five Dollars A Day' is really very good. Its evocative, half-spoken lyrics draw you into a mini musical film noir. Mojo
