Who do you like most among these three artists: John Dee Graham, Freedy Johnston or Susan Cowsill? No matter. If you wait long enough you'll hear a song you'll love from one of these guys on the new record At Least We Have Each Other from the Americana supergroup The Hobart Brothers .

I got to know Jon Dee Graham after I moved to Austin in 1997. At the time, he was in the process of transforming himself from an respected guitarist who had toured and recorded with people like Kelly Willis, John Doe and Simon Bonney , to a singer of his own songs.
