Rayland Baxter grew up in Nashville; he's the son of steel player Bucky Baxter, whose career included a lengthy stint with Bob Dylan. The younger Baxter spent his formative years hanging with another kid whose dad was on the road a lot: Justin Townes Earle, son of Steve Earle.
Rayland Baxter's songwriting has evolved on his new second album Imaginary Man. He brings his full band in to perform live in the World Cafe studio — they even cover a song from Neil Young's classic album On The Beach.
