Fancey
Country Fair
self-released
New Pornographers guitarist
Todd Fancey’s digital only release is a tribute to the 60s/70s country music he
loved growing up. He and Paul Rigby, Neko Case’s longtime guitarist, along with
other guests, have made a great update here just by being faithful to the
spirit of the originals. I like the bit of loving irony sprinkled in as well,
as everyone on here knows this is off the beaten path. All the more reason to
pay tribute to it.
It’s also fun to listen to,
little psychedelic lyrically adding to it. If you’re a fan of Fancey’s previous
releases, as I am, you won’t go wrong with an album this fun and good.
