Caleb Stine’s music is hardworking, genuine, and unafraid to tell it like it is. Armed with a storyteller’s eye and a restless independent spirit, Stine recently released his latest album (his fifth), I Wasn’t Built for a Life Like This.

Described as, “somewhere between the renegade cowboy-poetry of Townes Van Zandt and the sweet rough and tumble sound of Neil Young’s Harvest”, the album is a collection of ten-unflinchingly direct songs telling the stories of his exploration in what he calls, “an evolving and eroding America.”

His timeless style of songwriting evokes images of a classic generation of outlaw-Country songwriters like Kris Kristofferson, Steve Earle, and Willie Nelson. Each song is a glimpse into the heart and soul of America.

Take a listen to the album’s opening track, the twang and growl of the self-explanatory My Service Isn’t Needed Anymore.
