Fred Eaglesmith, a relatively unknown Canadian artist made his
appearance on Letterman last nite.
Although I didn't get the chance to catch the show,
I was elated to hear that he got the chance to
perform on Dave's show.
I can honestly say that I'm not all that familiar with
his work, but one track that does stand out is
"I Like Trains"...what a great tune.
At first listen, it comes off sounding like a distraught
or down-trodden "Cat Stevens" in a vocal sense, but the
lyrics, and haunting melody makes for an otherwise
catchy, off the wall blues sounding track in my opinion.
His new release entitled "Cha, cha, cha" was most
likely featured during his appearance last night on
Letterman.
He's scheduled for a show here in North Bay, Ontario
July 2nd. I should check it out.
Thanks
Kim
