Title: Dad Country
Review –Jonny Fritz is kind of like Gram Parsons meets Jack Kerouac…Heard a cut of his on the radio and stopped dead in my tracks- thinking it was a long lost Gram cut. Sounds eerily like him in places- so if you like alt country- you’ll like this sound. Lyrically, well…he’s pretty weird- kind of Kerouac stream of consciousness. One song is called “Trash day” and starts out with “Monday morning is the day they pick up trash, Oh my god, Oh my god”- a lot of it is like this but set to really good Louisiana hayride influenced country music. Cracker jack backing band. Hard to sit still listening to this; makes you want to do a two step. Just plain out there. Loved it.
