Heartbreak Sampler

Praise for Crooked Roads' first CD, Love, Again:

"Will surely become a major player in the roots music arena.

—Roots Music Report

There's plenty of joy and pain, love and betrayal, and all the other stuff that makes old country music so damn satisfying. Dingman and Crooked Roads are one hell of a throwback.

—Aiding and Abetting

A great new talent has arrived! Dingman is one of that rare breed whose distinctive voice is perfectly matched to the style and substance of his impressive music-writing abilities. As you listen to the different tracks, you'll find yourself sometimes smiling, sometimes wistful, but always grateful. When Dingman's name is on everyone's lips in a year or two, I know I'll be boasting that I had the foresight to buy his first CD when it was just released.

Track Listing & Sound Samples

"It’s rare to come across such an honest songwriter as Chris Dingman... 'I'm not interested in telling stories, or trying to write from some other character's perspective. I write to explore and express my inner life,' Dingman says. That honesty pervades Heartbreak Sampler, which is a frank, painful and resigned look at the single life. But it’s an uplifting album, partly in the way that only honestly expressed pain can be, but partly because of the way Dingman has with a melody and the killer lines with which every track is filled."
