It's Not As Bad As it Looks is about second chances, hope, sin & redemption, the constant search for higher meaning and a path forward. And it's all delivered through Jon Dee's unique prism of pointed lyrics, searing guitar, and arrangements that sway between touching ballads and balls out rock with a punk edge. Recorded this summer at Austin's Wire Recording with Stuart Sullivan at the helm. Another stalwart compadre, Son Volt's Andrew Duplantis was on bass, and Fastball drummer Joey Shuffield held down the back beat. He's been inducted into the Austin Music Hall of Fame three times, in 2000 as a solo artist, in 2008 as a member of the Skunks, and in 2009 as a member of the True Believers.
