A bit like Elvis Costello, Atlanta native Art Linton breezes through songs with a unique brand of parody and gusto. His music draws on a number of influences, which some may find a little perplexing. However, Linton has incredible vocal presence, which helps deliver a humorous and pertinent outlook on the human condition.
