I saw Fred Eaglesmith and the Fabulous Ginn Sisters do their thing the other night at Eddie's Attic. Holy Shit! Why have I not heard about them before? I went out and bought two of his albums today.
Fred's a funny guy. He threatend to turn Eddie's Attic into Freddie's Attic once he got rich and famous. He also likes to tell stores, as you can see in the first 4-1/2 minutes of
Water in the Fuel. He's also able to write poiniant songs about seemingly silly things like
small motors. It was snowing like hell (for Georgia) throughout the show and Fred, the Canadian, had a lot of fun calling it pussy snow and making fun of us. He played
Cumberland County to drive home his point.
After the show I had to brush an entire inch(!) of slushy snow off the bike and ride home on dark, slick streets. Nice.
