“Davenport’s HOT! And smart. And funny. Listen, is there a Steve Davenport action figure available? He’s a fabulous writer! Buy his books. And then get him to write more. He’s everyone’s ‘rough darling.'” –Renee Ashley, Minglements

“Bruise Songs idles at a crossroads of daughters, whiskey, music, and cold pork chops. From the stroke of midnight to the nostalgic stroke of a bat, Davenport drives this interstate of arteries and empty glasses intlo a kaleidoscopic horizon–hard, melodic, lovely–just as the best songs always are.” –Clay Matthews, Shore

 
Purchase Bruise Songs from Stephen F. Austin University Press or one of the usual on-line joints like Amazon.
