Elvie Shane makes his album debut this month with Backslider.

He says, “It’s about more than just me. Whether you’re from the United States or the other side of the world, we’ve probably experienced the same things: heartbreak, family trouble, love, the yearning for a better life. These songs are my personal stories written so they rhyme…but I think they are stories that happen to each and every one of us.”

Elvie wrote all but one cut on the 15-song album. Backslider will be out on October 29th.
