T.DUGGINS "UNDONE" OUT NOW
THE TOSSERS frontman stripped down and undone. Tony Duggins opens every TOSSERS show solo, usually acapella or strumming along on his mandolin, and it’s amazing. Like the still before the storm, before the band goes off full tilt, T swoons the crowd into a false easiness. That’s the idea behind Undone, an outlet for those raw songs that just aren’t right for The Tossers but amazing all the same. Recorded mostly live with some help from his mates, T. laid down tracks at Chicago’s Million Yen Studios, recording 24 songs in a little over two weeks, keeping his favorite 13 for his first solo album. The result isn’t glossy or polished - it’s rough around the edges with a good bit of grit. Includes a handful of originals, covers of Dylan, Leadbelly, MacGowen, Moore and McCall plus a few traditionals for good measure.
