[edit] Musician Biography
Jon Langford started his musical career in the punk band The Mekons (though "punk" might be a bit of a mis-classification), and moved to Chicago. Most of his records now are heavily influenced by Country musicians, and his solo work often sounds like The Pogues if you toggled the Celtic aspects of their music for American Country -- which isn't that far of a stretch when you look at the musical geneologies of the genres. Jon Langford is also an accomplished writer and artist.
