JONNY FRITZ Dad Country (April 16, 2013; ATO Records)

Listen/download a new song, "Ain't It Your Birthday" at Paste Magazine Co-produced by Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes)

January 30, 2013: Nashville songwriter Jonny Fritz's work ethic and boldness have paid off in spades. It's been a big year for Jonny with opening stints for Alabama Shakes, Deer Tick, Dawes, Shooter Jennings and kudos from CMT and Rolling Stone, among many others. He's signed a deal with indie label ATO Records (he actually signed the deal with gravy at Nashville landmark Arnold's Country Kitchen), and his third full-length album, Dad Country, is set for release on April 16, 2013. Dad Country is also his first release under his real name Fritz with Jonny ditching the  "Corndawg" moniker he'd carried since his early teens. Fans will recognize these songs from Fritz's live shows; they've been road-tested and fine-tuned. He's released the first single from the album, "Ain't It Your Birthday" today at Paste Magazine; it's available for download here.  (scroll down for embed code).        Like his songwriting heroes Tom T. Hall, Michael Hurley, Roger Miller and Clint Black, Jonny can turn phrases 'til you're dizzy, all while plucking your heartstrings or capturing a sharp, lonesome vulnerability that never seems lost or brooding.  Produced by Jonny and Dawes' Taylor Goldsmith, recorded at Jackson Browne's Los Angeles studio and finished up in Music City, USA; this breakthrough album balances Jonny's trademark earthy humor and unfiltered worldview with some of his darkest material to date.  Co-producer Goldsmith says, "Funny as they can be at moments, his songs access realities and experiences that we're all familiar with but sometimes fail to consider the depths of." Dad Country has a Nashville sound kept aloft on a sure Southern Californian wind, no doubt from the influence of his backing band: Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith, Tay Strathairn and Wylie Gelber of Dawes, Jackson Browne, and his Nashville band: Spencer Cullum Jr, Joshua Hedley, Taylor Zachry and Jerry Pentecost.    After nearly a decade spent on the road (since his late teens), it was well-earned luck that brought Jonny together with dream team that would bring Dad Country to life. Originally scheduled to record at another Los Angeles studio, Jonny and Goldsmith were left scrambling for a backup plan when their original producer flaked. As it happened, they were playing a show in Hollywood that week and Browne was in attendance. After the show, Browne approached Jonny and, learning of their troubles, generously offered up his studio. Just three weeks later, they were all holed up at Browne's recording the new songs. "It was really spontaneous," says Jonny. "We just pulled it out of our proverbial asses as we went along." In just four days, they pounded out 14 tracks in one long, inspired rush and this excitement pervades the results.  Jonny later decided to re-record two of the songs that had evolved significantly on the road -- the Red Simpson-esque "Fever Dreams" and down-home lament "Ain't It Your Birthday" -- using his own band back in Nashville. With these, the record was ready and dead-on with Jonny's vision of "Dad Country."    Born in Montana and raised in Virginia, Jonny grew up in the middle of mountains and weirdos of every allegiance, developing a blind man's ear for the slightest turn in a tale or human voice. He dropped out of school and left home early, totally undaunted, and toured the country on his motorcycle, selling just enough music to keep his freedom and stay ahead of bitterness.  "If I could sell three CDs a night, I would have enough for gas and to make it to the next town."    Cramming six lifetimes into six years and collecting triumphs and heartaches every corner of the globe, he eventually wound his way toward Tennessee. "Not because I wanted to break in over on Music Row and 'make it,' because I knew I didn't really belong there," he says. "I wanted to learn the ways of country music ... to get my education in this cool old world that exists only in Nashville."    While immersing himself in the music world, Jonny began running marathons from Philadelphia to Barcelona and pounding out his signature leather works -- the dog collars and guitar straps -- seen all over Nashville and half the musical universe. He found himself in NYC for year trying to save a relationship, and its slow, painful unraveling (and demise) inspired Dad Country's bleakest, heartrending tracks, including "All We Do Is Complain" and "Have You Ever Wanted to Die."     These days, life has never been better for Jonny Fritz. He's back in Nashville again and putting down roots- and has even gone and bought himself a house.  "It just keeps getting better. Now, the band is getting paid, I'm getting paid, everybody's happy, and we're packing 'em in when we play." "This is the dream life. I couldn't really ask for anything else." Track Listing  Goodbye Summer  All We Do Is Complain  Holy Water  Social Climbers  Ain't It Your Birthday Shut Up  Wrong Crowd  Have You Ever Wanted to Die Fever Dreams  Trash Day  Suck In Your Gut  Instrumental Praise for Jonny Fritz:  "Clever songs like "Chevy Beretta," "Shaved (Like a Razor)" and "Undercover Dad" made last year's Down on the Bikini Line an underground hit, but it had more to do with the surprising authentic quality of his music than it did with his quirky style."  - CMT.com    "... filthy, funny, vagrant and harmonious."  - Paste Magazine    "His love of classic country--in all its heartbreaking, plainspoken, at times ridiculous glory--burns hotter than a backyard tire fire."- M: Music and Musicians "... a preternatural grasp of honky-tonk, bluegrass, traditional, and outlaw country music."     - Consequence of Sound    "When he zeroes in on the sort of absurd detail that nobody else would think to write about, he's unbeatable."  - Relix Magazine "Corndawg reels you in with some good shtick-the blatant country signposts ... but you'll stick around for the genuine craftsmanship." - Popmatters (review of Down on the Bikini Line) JONNY FRITZ LINKS:  Jonny Fritz   Facebook    Instagram    Twitter   Bandcamp   Daytrotter Session   Jonny's leatherwork (guitar straps, belts, dog collars ...)

REVEREND PEYTON'S BIG DAMN BAND ROARS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THIS SPRING

Big Damn Blues Revolution Tour Kicks Off March 6th With Special Guests:

Jimbo Mathus & Grammy Winner Alvin Youngblood Hart

Los Angeles, CA (January 30, 2013) - Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band is happy to announce the Big Damn Blues Revolution Tour, which will take the band throughout the U.S. this spring with special guests Jimbo Mathus and Alvin Youngblood Hart.

 

With a reputation for their incendiary live shows, it seemed only natural for The Big Damn Band to hit the road again in support of Between the Ditches, their latest album. But this time, The Rev, Breezy & Cuz will unleash their ferocious blues explosion to the masses alongside some of their favorite artists for what is sure an unforgettably raucous affair.

Conceptualized by none other than the Reverend Peyton himself, The Big Damn Blues Revolution Tour is a musical event that will showcase today’s top blues artists in a whole new light. Coming along for the ride are Jimbo Mathus, best known for his work with the swing revival band Squirrel Nut Zippers and blues legend Buddy Guy as well as Grammy Award-winning guitarist Alvin Youngblood Hart. The tour kicks off in March then the Rev will make several appearances at the world-renowned music festival South By Southwest in Austin, TX before continuing the tour throughout the summer.

 

Between the Ditches has been received with enthusiasm since its debut at #1 on the iTunes Blues chart week of release. They’ve received critical raves in the US and internationally, video play from CMT and MTVu, charting at both college and Americana radio and inclusion in the hit Showtime series “Shameless” starring William H. Macy.

 

Roaring out of the southern Indiana foothills, Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, plays a brand of Americana and Blues that stands alone - Delta blues and hillbilly fervor combine with musical acuity sharp as razor wire. Their new album Between The Ditches is a chronicle of this lifestyle. Since it arrived in August, excellent reviews have appeared in publications like Vintage Guitar, Classic Rock Magazine, Alternative Press and Living Blues. Their fifth album celebrates the growl of a good truck engine, the fiercest passion for their country home and the importance of family.

Here's a track from Jack Cade and the Everyday Sinners upcoming album "Lord of the Empty Manor" - Dig it baby!

2011 saw the release of Jack Cade and the Everyday Sinners debut Collision Music album ‘This
Fiery Road’ which introduced the band to an audience far and wide from their native Reading home, picking up new fans from across Europe and the US in the process.

 If you haven’t heard the album these words from Rebel' Rod Ames at ‘From Under The Basement’ just about sum it up:

 "Take about two cups of Johnny Cash, add a dash or two of Tom Waits, and a  smidgen of the psychobilly or punk roots that began molding him years ago, and you  have Jack Cade."

Having spent 2012 writing new material, shooting videos and playing a whole bunch of gigs Jack Cade and the Everyday Sinners are ready to embark on their follow up album. The band has been trimmed down from the large mix of musicians who appeared on the debut, and are now based around a core 4 piece band with occasional appearances from guest musicians. The current line-­‐up is Jack Cade (vocals & guitar) Mike Muggeridge (bass) Helen Togher (vocal) and Adam Perry (drums). In keeping with this stripped down format the new material is a lot more raw, whilst still weaving its way through an Americana, Country and Folk vibe. The 'Lord of the empty Manor' album will introduce 12 new songs with themes ranging from passion and despair to the ills of the modern life, there are even some Zombies thrown in along the way. However, there is a change to this Collision release, in that the tracks will be released individually each month through the year, with a limited edition vinyl copy available December 2013. First up will be the relentlessly thumping 'Dead Weight Walkin' an allegory for our times, railing against the greed of the few riding on the backs of the many, a theme truly in keeping with the historical links of the name Jack Cade. It’s told through the story of five brothers and their lopsided, turbulent relationship, delivered in a deep angry growl and backed by some searing vocals from Helen and all underpinned by a rolling tribal beat and rhythmic bass line. At the helm for the recording of this album is producer Bobby Bloomfield of Does it offend you, yeah? who has also collaborated with Vienna Ditto, The Adelines, SixNationState, Kamikaze Test Pilots as well as working on numerous other remixes.

Please check out Dead Weight Walkin' which was released on 21 January 2013.

Please, by all means check "Dead Weight Walkin'" a great new tune by Jack Cade and The Everyday Sinners. You will not be sorry.

Dig it!

HENRY WAGONS RELEASES EXPECTING COMPANY? MINI-ALBUM FEATURING DUETS WITH ALISON MOSSHART AND OTHER FRIENDS; HEADS TO NORTH AMERICA FOR SHORT, SWEET TOUR

 

Australian roots rocker also to

shadow SXSW proceedings in Austin in March

 

MELBOURNE, Australia — Henry Wagons last week released his first between-band-albums solo recording, Expecting Company?, on Thirty Tigers in the U.S. and Six Shooter in Canada. The release follows the artist’s critically acclaimed U.S. debut effort, Rumble Shake & Tumble, with his band, Wagons.

 

With favorable reviews starting to gather, Henry will head to the U.S. for a short tour in February and March including several appearances during SXSW week.

 

Six of the seven tracks are duets featuring six stellar guests: Alison Mosshart (The Kills, The Dead Weather), Sophia Brous, Canada’s Jenn Grant, Robert Forster (The Go-Betweens), Patience Hodgson (The Grates) and Australia’s Gossling.
“Most of these songs were written in a slightly altered state,” Henry reveals. Finally home after a long stint on the road, he found himself sick and injured — “delirious with a bad fever and maimed due to a light bulb exploding in my hand.” Resisting the urge to recover in bed, Henry harnessed “the twisted voices” in his head and wrote some songs instead. “They came from a different place, so they required some different voices,” he explains.
“Having multiple voices in a song holds a certain power. They can represent a unique synergy and oneness, or have a certain schizophrenia or oppositional battle.”

 

The U.S. press is impressed: American Songwriter called Wagons “a cool, downbeat and shadowy version of the duskier side of Americana,” while the Country Fried Rock Internet radio program waxed descriptive: “Henry Wagons must have watched a few too many Las Vegas television specials growing up. How else would the Australian songwriter have developed a fascination with the showmanship of Tom Jones and Elvis? Add to the mix (literally) Wagons’ obsession with vintage reverb sounds like the songs of Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra, and you end up with a record full of noir duets that is both retro and ethereal — without becoming too trippy.”

 

“There must be something about the Land Down Under that breeds a dark delivery,” opined Blurt. “Look at Nick Cave or Midnight Oil’s Peter Garrett as ideal examples. Arched and “intimidating, they possess foreboding tenors well suited to that ominous stance. Now add Henry Wagons to this list.”

“Expecting Company is a triumph of teamwork and music making (it) of one of the most exciting and elegant albums of the year,” wrote country ‘zine Roughstock in its five-star review.

 

“I'm very proud of this duets record and can't wait to some smash some hefty American floorboards stomping these tunes out,” says Henry Wagons. “We have some very grand, fun, and mildly twisted plans for the show which I'm sure people won't want to miss.”

Jimbo Mathus & The Tri-State Coalition's "White Buffalo" (Fat Possum Records) is brilliant! Available now

By ' Rebel' Rod Ames


If there was ever a more under rated artist in this vast musical universe, I do not know who it would be other than Mississippi’s own Jimbo Mathus. I suppose, after reading what I just wrote there are certainly many other extremely underrated musicians out there, but this article is about Jimbo Mathus. More specifically, this article is a review of Jimbo Mathus & The Tri-State Coalition’s “White Buffalo”.

I was turned on to Jimbo via the Squirrel Nut Zippers but I had absolutely no idea that Jimbo Mathus was such an enormous part of what made that band. The revelation came to me while I was doing my radio show on KOOK 93.5 FM/KERV 1230 AM in beautiful Junction/Kerrville, Texas.

At times I review music on an internet outfit called Reviewshine.com. A very talented gentlemen who goes by the somewhat satirical name of Reverend Robert Earl Reed, submitted an amazin album called “Carlene”. It was a brilliant record cut from the same fabric as the darkest music Johnny Cash ever released. After playing cuts from this record on my show, I got to know the good Reverend. He raised the curtain for me to some extent on this extremely versatile Jimbo Mathus.

As I said earlier, I had heard The Squirrel Nut Zippers, and I dug their interesting take on ragtime music, but they had not captured my undivided attention. Mr. Reed began sending me YouTube videos, and before long I felt like an ever loving imbecilic music idiot.

Then I started listening to Mr. Mathus’ other albums. Wonderful records like “The Confederate Buddha” and “Jimmy the Kid”. I have been a Jimbo Mathus junkie ever since. However, It’s the good kind of junk, the kind that soothes the soul and you can’t die from it!

“White Buffalo” is an unbelievably good album! The songs are all catchy as hell. It is absolutely Southern Rock ‘N Roll at its very best. At times he takes the listener from soothing southern rock ballads such as “Tennessee Walker Mare”, to hard driving, guitar driven, purist rock ‘n roll like the title track “White Buffalo”. Right after that he knocks it down a notch or two with a beautifully written and performed traditional country tune, “Hatchie Bottom”.

 

Everything melds perfectly into an album where the whole enchilada works. Every tune, the playing, the lyrics – every single song on the album is a homerun. Every single song! That is something that rarely happens anymore, but Jimbo Mathus and The Tri-State Coalition make it seem easy. It’s obvious the band had an enormously good time making this record.

Within Mr. Mathus’ bio, there is a quote from the late Memphis producer Jim Dickenson. It states - “If you don’t like this, there is seriously something wrong with you”.

If there is seriously something wrong with you, then Jimbo Mathus and The Tri-State Coalition’s “White Buffalo” is certainly the cure.

Yes, it’s very early in 2013, but so far, this is the best of 2013.

SKYDOG: THE DUANE ALLMAN RETROSPECTIVE CHRONICLES GROUNDBREAKING GUITARIST’S CAREER, FROM GARAGE BANDS AND R&B SESSION WORK TO THE ALLMAN BROTHERS AND DEREK & THE DOMINOS

Seven CD set, due out March 5 on Rounder Records,
 includes rare recordings by Allman’s early bands:
the Escorts, Allman Joys, the 31st of February, and the Bleus.
Extensive liner notes are accompanied by a tribute from Allman’s daughter. 

 

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Even if he’d never formed the Allman Brothers Band, Duane Allman would be a major figure in American popular music. Long before his name became known to mainstream audiences, he had already established his credentials as a once-in-a-lifetime guitar visionary, leaving his unmistakable stamp on a broad array of recordings. On March 5, 2013, Rounder Records, a division of Concord Music Group, will release the most ambitious retrospective of Allman’s short but influential career titled Skydog: The Duane Allman Retrospective.
 
The deluxe seven-disc collection, carrying a list price of $139.98, contains the guitarist’s best-known and most commercially successful recordings with the Allman Brothers Band and Derek & the Dominos, as well as session work with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Boz Scaggs, Clarence Carter, King Curtis, Delaney & Bonnie & Friends, Ronnie Hawkins, Otis Rush, Laura Nyro, Lulu, the Sweet Inspirations, Laura Lee, Spencer Wiggins, Arthur Conley, Willie Walker, the Lovelles, the Soul Survivors, Johnny Jenkins, John Hammond, Doris Duke, Eric Quincy Tate, Herbie Mann and more.
 
The set was produced by Galadrielle Allman (Duane’s daughter) and two-time Grammy® winning producer Bill Levenson. Rounder Records’ Scott Billington served as executive producer. Scott Schinder contributed comprehensive historical liner notes, complemented by additional notes by Galadrielle Allman.
 
In her recollection of her father, who died when she was a young child, Galadrielle writes, “I am very lucky that my father is Duane Allman, an artist who left behind a wealth of incredible music . . . Working on this retrospective, I have gotten closer than I ever have been to understanding my father’s development as a musician and a man.”
 
Duane Allman, known to his bandmates as Skydog, was born in Nashville in 1946. With Gregg, his only sibling, Duane had his first moment of musical revelation upon witnessing a late ’50s R&B bill that featured B.B. King and Jackie Wilson. By 1960, both Duane and Gregg owned guitars and played in a series of neighborhood garage bands in Tennessee and Florida. Continuing their interest in blues and R&B in the shadow of blues radio station WLAC-AM’s continent-spanning signal, as well as absorbing the influence of the British Invasion, the brothers launched the Escorts in 1965 and the Allman Joys, who recorded a handful of sides in Bradley’s Barn in Nashville in 1966. By 1967, Duane and Gregg signed to Liberty as the Hour Glass and recorded two albums in Nashville and Los Angeles. When the band sought to defy the label and spread its musical wings, they were dropped. The brothers returned to Florida, hooked up with drummer Butch Trucks, and recorded two sides as the 31st of February, and later at Ardent Studio in Memphis as the Bleus.
 
By this time Duane had developed a reputation as a leading session guitarist. He was on Fame Studio’s A list, his guitar licks coloring hits by Wilson Pickett. Atlantic Records producer and executive Jerry Wexler took note and hired him to perform on Atlantic sessions by King Curtis, Otis Rush, Arthur Conley, the Soul Survivors and Sweet Inspirations. Wexler signed him to a solo Atlantic deal, resulting in a session that contained the raucous original “Happily Married Man” and more. The session, contained on the Skydog set, was abandoned mid-stream. But by then Capricorn Records’ Phil Walden had noticed the rumblings from Muscle Shoals. Duane gathered up brother Gregg, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, Jai Johanny Johanson and others and the Allman Brothers Band was born.
 
According to reissue annotator Schinder, “The [Allman Brothers Band’s] music was complex and adventurous, yet unfailingly accessible. The subtle and harmonic interplay between Duane and Dickey’s dual lead guitars was matched by the three-man rhythm section’s surging, swinging cross-rhythms, with Gregg’s massively expressive singing and organ playing keeping the music firmly grounded in human emotion.” The band’s profile grew with each release — the self-titled debut, Idlewild South and eventually the band’s breakthrough, At Fillmore East.
 
Testament to his energy and ambition, Duane still found time for side projects. When bandmates would hole up at home after tours, Duane joined fellow world-class guitarist Eric Clapton on Derek & the Dominos’ Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. While not an official member, he quickly emerged as a major contributor to the classic album, his twin guitar interplay with Clapton shaping the hits “Layla” and “Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad.” He also worked with Delaney & Bonnie & Friends and Laura Nyro between Allman Brothers Band projects.
 
By then acknowledged as one of rock’s premier guitarists, Duane and the Allman Brothers Band began recording their follow-up to At Fillmore East — Eat a Peach. Tom Dowd, another legendary Atlantic house producer, oversaw sessions at Criteria Studios. Then on October 29, 1971, four days after Fillmore had been certified gold, Duane was riding his motorcycle and swerved to avoid hitting a truck. He crashed and died of internal injuries. He was 24 years old.
The band forged ahead as a quintet on Eat a Peach, which became one of their best selling albums. The Allman Brothers, led by Gregg Allman and Butch Trucks, continue to perform to this day.

Schinder notes, “More than four decades after his death, Duane Allman remains a towering figure whose stature has only increased in his absence. His influence lives on, not only in the multiple generations of guitarists who have been motivated by his input, but also in the legions of listeners who have continued to find inspiration in his vibrant vision of American music, which remains as fresh and truthful today as when it was created.”
 
 “When a musician of my father’s caliber dies, every note he ever recorded becomes even more precious,” writes Galadrielle. “Each song is pressed into the service of telling his story. The longer Duane is gone, the clearer it becomes that there will never be another like him.”
 
Over seven discs, Skydog tells the Duane Allman story with rare and never-before-heard gems alongside smash hits.
 
“I hope the celebration of Duane’s life inspires you to live fearlessly and enjoy life,” Galadrielle concludes. “I know that would have made him proud.”
