You’ve seen Mark Seliger’s work before. He’s one of the modern age’s most popular rock & roll photographers, with more than 125 Rolling Stone cover shoots under his belt.

Now it’s time to hear Seliger’s work. A Texas native, he whips up a blend of roadhouse rock & roll, guitar-driven blues and Lonestar country on Kicker Town, his second album with Rusty Truck. Even when he puts down the camera, Seliger still knows how to frame a shot, and Kicker Town’s best songs evoke the dust-kicking swagger and big-sky beauty of his homestate.

“I think it’s my ‘country opera,” he tells us, “and with the help from my great friends in Rusty Truck, we tried to put a little western back into country.”
