Caleb Stine is an American singer/songwriter from Baltimore, Maryland. He plays both solo and with Americana-rockers The Brakemen. His timeless style and intensely personal lyrics has evoked comparisons to Townes Van Zandt, Kris Kristofferson, and Harvest-era Neil Young.〔(Aural States Fest II: Spotlights – Pontiak, Caleb Stine, NARC | Aural States )〕 ==History== Stine was raised in Colorado, where he started playing guitar when he was twelve. Shortly after he began playing regular open-mic shows at local coffee houses where he developed his confessional style.〔(Honest Tune Online - Caleb Stine - Music is Life )〕 He eventually relocated to Baltimore and quickly became a central part of its widely-divergent scene. His first two albums, 2006's ''October 29'' and 2008's ''I'll Head West Again'', were with the Brakemen, and highlighted a style The New Yorker called, "appropriately trainlike—steady and powerful."〔(Night Life : The New Yorker )〕 His third album, ''Outgrown These Walls'' was a collaboration. Paired with rapper Saleem, by DJ Sam Sessa from influential radio station WTMD, and challenged to come up with four songs, the pair who had never meet, clicked immdediately and created an album's worth of material that the Baltimore Sun hailed as, "truly compelling." The dark and brooding track, "Baltimore", was used by CNN in a piece on prescription drug-abuse in Baltimore in 2010.〔(Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com )〕 ''Outgrown These Walls'' was followed in 2009 by ''Eyes So Strong and Clean'', and marked the songwriters first solo album. Stine released ''I Wasn't Built For a Life Like This'' September 25, 2010. The all-acoustic album continues what Stine calls, "his exploration in an evolving and eroding America."〔(Honest Tune Online - Caleb Stine to release, I Wasn't Built For a Life Like This, Sept. 25 )〕 Upon its release ''No Depression'' declared, "His honest stories and thoughtful poetry places Caleb among some of the best songwriters of this time and could possibly make him the 21st Century's Townes Van Zandt."〔http://nodepression.com/article/caleb-stine-i-wasnt-built-life?xg_source=activity〕 In 2011, following the release of ''I Wasn't Built For a Life Like This'', Stine appeared in the off-Broadway production of ''Woody Guthrie Dreams''. Stine played the role of Cisco Houston as well as serving as the production's musical director.〔http://www.newyorker.com/goings-on-about-town/theatre/woody-guthrie-dreams〕 Stine released his latest album, ''Maybe God Is Lonely Too,'' in 2014. The Baltimore ''City Paper'' says the album, "houses Americana-tinged songs about death, falling in love, the prison-industrial complex, institutionalized racism, wanting a dog, and the empowering voice of God...it is ultimately a gritty, tricky record that answers to nobody."〔http://www.citypaper.com/bcp-cms-1-1664694-migrated-story-cp-20140409-music-20140409-story.html〕 〔http://wypr.org/post/singer-songwriter-caleb-stines-maybe-god-lonely-too〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caleb Stine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
