Jim Roll slid through the 1990s a virtual secret to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and his hometown, Chicago, a singer-songwriter who once gave up the biz to get into social work. But a chance meeting with Walter Salas-Humara (the Silos leader who produced Lunette) led to a comeback and now Roll's second record. Backed by Texas guitarists Jon Dee Graham and Gurf Morlix, Lunette jumps out of the gate with "1955," a nostalgia ride that echoes the early Eagles, then veers from banjo-and-lap-steel country to acoustic folk to alt-country rockers. Salas-Humara's aching vocal style has obviously rubbed off on Roll, and Mary Rowell, whose violin defined the Silos classic Cuba, lends a haunting hand in "These Winds." With Lunette, Jim Roll's secret is out of the bag.
