One unique mofo - Fred J Eaglesmith

I love this guy. Singer songwriter, skewed world view, troubador's weary voice. Man he has it all. Yep, Fred J Eaglesmith out o' Canada.

Here's a profile of him. He's a simple fellow with a wicked pen. Like Buddy Miller.

I'm running short on time and that sucks. I wanted to link you to some of his lyrics and, hope of hopes, possibly some mp3 downloads. I could only find lyrics tabbed and chorded for learning to play on the git-fiddle. Nothing just plain and simple.

If you have KaaZaa or LimeWire or something, do a keyword search on him. He shows up with regularity. He's been around 20+ years and, like John Prine, he's someone you never heard of that has a sizable and ardent fan base.

His 2001 double live album is quite the kick-ass recording. You can get it right here.

What a crappy post I've done for such a unique talent. Please, go forth and investigate some on your own. You have broadband. Use it.

Cheese, out.
