The Championship's 2008 Concert History

If you've been longing for the love child of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, the Championship delivers. Singer Joe Crockett is the vocal doppelganger of Springsteen with a bit of Johnny Cash baritone thrown in to keep it dark. The band channels Cash through many a lyrical turn as well, particularly on "The Ballad of Maxwell Simmons," which seems to be about "dancing with the devil" and murder, in fairly morbid detail. But don't make the mistake of thinking the Championship is merely rehashing old fare; their streamlined approach
