Singer/songwriter Gwil Owen of the Thieves had one foot in rock & roll and the other in the honky tonk sound of his adopted Nashville hometown long before such a blending of genres was codified as "alternative country." The Thieves' debut album pairs Owen's Midwestern drawl and literary lyrics with guitarist Bart Weilburg's six-string prowess and a dynamic rhythm section composed of drummer Jeff Finlin and bass player Kelley Looney, on loan to the Thieves from Steve Earle's touring band. Produced with a deft hand by Marshall Crenshaw in his debut behind the control board, Seduced By Money successfully mixes beefy roots rock with power pop and country twang.
