I SO wish that *I* was just discovering Fred!!!! What a treasure. I'm a Canadian and have had the pleasure to see Fred and The Flying Squirrels many times. He just keeps on getting better. Washboard Hank has moved on and Willie Bennett had medical issues a year ago. I always think of Fred and his songs as 'Country for the Intelligentsia' He has an amazing sense of humour that comes across in his songs but REALLY spins your pigtails when you see him live. That man can tell a story! IF you EVER get an opportunity to see Fred Eaglesmith ..particularily in a small venue.. get a ticket and go. You are in for a truly GREAT show! I am truly a FredHead 721358@blogcritics.org Tue, 27 May 2008 11:58:18 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/10/005901.php#comment-717877 Nice review!! I have been a fan of Fred Eaglesmith for a few years now. He has some awesome tunes. Hope he comes back thru the midwest (MO) soon. 717877@blogcritics.org Wed, 14 May 2008 10:20:35 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/10/005901.php#comment-717409 Ah yes, I love finding an older artist and then having the joy of listening to their back catalog. 717409@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 May 2008 09:43:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/10/005901.php#comment-717405 Thanks, Mat. Apparently Eaglesmith's been working under the radar for years; I'd only recently learned about him myself. I still need to work through his back catalogue, but that's something to look forward to. 717405@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 May 2008 09:22:30 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/05/10/005901.php#comment-717345 Very nice review Holly. I had not heard of Eaglesmith before, but I'll add him to the list. 717345@blogcritics.org Mon, 12 May 2008 01:10:34 EDT
