Turning up on the Memphis underground music scene in the late-'90s, Harlan T. Bobo first provided instrumental sideman duties in several local bands, including Viva L'American Death Ray Music, Love Clowns, and The Limes. Then, during the early part of the next decade, Bobo began to take to local stages under his solo guise, performing his own material inspired by personally-topical romantic sagas. 'Porch Songs' is a collection of songs written in the wee hours of the night, on the porch, (terrace, when in France), during all too rare moments of quiet contemplation. These songs are country with a capital Y? Co-released with Goner Records.
