"Going to hear Fred Gillen jr play his music is like seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. It totally revolutionizes your perspective on life and how amazing it all seems.
Everyone who was there felt like they got away with something, it was like having a private concert in your living room with the combined spirits of Johnny Cash, Woody Guthrie, and every ghost of a heartbreaking memory you've been through." Leo Phrog, Utica Pulse

Sounds Like: Elliott Smith on speed having a collision with Preacher Casey in a trailer park somewhere in upstate New York and then having a beer together and singing a few Woody Guthrie songs with Elliott on washboard and Casey blowing harmonica plugged into an old Supro amplifier with Loretta Lynn singing some harmony as she walks by on her way to hang up the wash.
