Title: Fred Said Right
Review: It's weird to review a tribute record when: A) you're previously unfamilar with the artist being tributed (if that's a word); B) you're not a fan of its primary musical genre; and C) you're a neighbor of the producer.Having said that, buy this.There's folk, rock & roll, and lotsa country (authentic country, not Toby/Dixie country). There's funny, sad and enigmatic (it turns out Fred's quite the storyteller; lyrics are included). There's a dead dog, an abandoned gas station, and actual Canadians who never mention hockey - something for everyone!.Personal faves? Gurf, OFB, and Old No. 8.But be warned: this is a gateway record - you may be on your way to the orginal Eaglesmith recordings and/or other records by the Various Artists involved. Congratulations are in order - to the musicians, Mike Holm, Mr. E. of course, and to you.::
