Jonny Fritz – Sweet Creep (CD)
Product Details
Jonny Fritz has long been a cult favorite in Nashville's songwriter underground, known for a sharp wit and a lyrical sensibility that sits somewhere between classic country and left-field indie pop. Sweet Creep finds him in rare company, with collaborators who share his instinct for keeping things honest and unforced.
Sweet Creep includes the lyricism of prior release Dad Country with an added air of hopefulness. Recorded in Jim James' (of My Morning Jacket) makeshift hilltop studio in Montecito Heights, Sweet Creep reverberates with the feeling of sunny vistas. From album opener Are You Thirsty to the summer-crushy 'Humidifier', Sweet Creep is a freshly-signed lease on life. Jonny throws himself into the new album by stripping things down to the essentials. He gathered Nashville's Joshua Hedley and Dawes' Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith and recorded the whole album in three days. The fresh air, freedom from studio pressures, and strong cups of tea all mix into the music, with ATVs briefly heard in the background and two senior tortoises listening at Hedley's feet as he fiddles away.
