Welcome to the Darkness

"Jud Block is the finest poet I know. Poets are, too often, tormented souls who, as Ray Wylie Hubbard so aptly put it, are "condemned by the Gods to write." Jud knows. He knows. There are good songwriters, and then there are poets...Jud is a poet."

-- Jeff Hopson, legendary Texas singer-songwriter

 

NEW SINGLE OUT APRIL 5 

Santa Elena's Altar -- a sordid tale of Mexican death cults and drug cartels -- will be unleashed upon the world on APRIL 5 through all the usual digital dispensaries. So get those calendar's marked and brace yourselves for a dark ride south of the border.
