True to its title, The Twilight Zone represents a turning point of sorts for Jason Allen. It's his first studio album for Smith Music, the label, run by his friend Frank Jackson, that released 2006's Live at Gruene Hall, and he wrote all but two of the songs. "This record is a good reflection of who I am as an artist/songwriter," he says. "The others [2003's Something I Dreamed and 2005's Wouldn't It Be Nice] were too, but this one is digging a little deeper."
