J ack Ingram sings about heart break and beat-up Fords. He has covered songs by Texas country songwriting legends Jim mie Dale Gilmore and Guy Clark. His fourth album and major label debut was produced by country rocker Steve Earle. Call him anything, just do not call him “pop” or “alternative coun try.” The 26-year-old Dallas musi cian insists he is the real thing. “Td describe my sound as coun try, real country,” Ingram said. “Not stupid country. Not the ‘El Camino Royale’ country.” Ingram’s latest effort, Livin' or Dyin', was recently released by Ris ing Tide records. “I love every song on it,” Ingram said. “It’s my best to date, for sure. I’m more proud of it than anything I’ve done.” The Dallas native has come a long way in the past six years. He learned to play guitar his freshman year at Southern Methodist Uni versity, and shortly thereafter, he recorded his first album. Ingram’s three independent al bums, Jack Ingram, Lonesome Questions and Live at Adair's, have sold 30,000 copies. , The three albums earned In gram a cult following and he went on to open for such artists as Mer le Haggard, Hal Ketchum, Mark Chesnutt and Todd Snider. “I really didn’t want to do one of those contemporary songwriter albums,” Ingram said. “I’m more from the ‘Ray Price’ type of sound.” 0% FINANCE CHARGE.
