Comanche County Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 If you're not one, you will be if you listen. Fred Eaglesmith is, dare I insult the coveted Celine Dion, the best thing outta Canada. When you hear him, you'll think Western PA or West Texas maybe, but he's all Southern Ontario. While I was on leave from Iraq for a couple of weeks, I was working on the Manche, listening to my Fred catalog. Songs about Cars, Trains, Engines (big and small), Farming, a few gun songs (no, not the dumb redneck gun songs), and other great Americana/ hard charged folk.... His stuff I also dare say is of comparable artistic quality to Johnny Cash's American recordings...but he can be somewhat of an acquired taste. Check out the reviews on amazon.com. So join the Fred-Head revolution, prop up the hood, get your tools, and crank up the "Georgia Overdrive". Your jeep will love you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Love his music. Miranda Lambert covered "Time to get a gun" on her new album. It just doesn't sound right with a chick singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990 Pioneer 4x4 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Saw your post, Goggled it and watched a video on YouTube. He looked like Larry the Cable guy and sounded like a drunk dude screaming and spiting into the microphone trying to sing karaoke. No insult to Canada or Celine Dion intended. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ha ha, yeah, Fred is an acquired taste for most. But no one beats his car and train songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I can't stand him, but my 13 year old daughter is a major Fred-head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I must say, most country crap would probably drive me to sodomize sheep if I was forced to listen to it for too long. But, this guy doesn't sound half bad. :hmm: Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
