Stace England is an American singer-songwriter from Illinois who on the Internet somewhere is defined as "Sufjan Stevens with balls."  He's a musician who has a number of records to his name, but released so gradually he's not blessed with quite as well known balls as his colleague.  On Salt Sex Slaves Stace England and his band The Salt Kings tell wonderful stories about slices of American history.  The songs are packaged in a tasty raw sound that is closer to rock 'n roll than country, the style that Stace England so far mainly gets labeled with.  The music recalls the Stones in their best years, but in a slightly Americana vein.  At first listen the CD is remarkable as a whole but then it even grows further on you.  Stace England has already been embraced by a small circle but with Salt Sex Slaves he's ready for a much bigger audience.
