*** Résumé en anglais seulement *** Vinyl LP pressing. This album is a point of reference. It's not that I've never rocked before. Just ain't rocked in a while... It's been real cool seeing so many new faces showing up at shows these last couple years. A lot of them even seeming to mostly know stuff from the more recent albums almost exclusively and that's not a bad problem to have. I've always said our crowd is the best on any side of the musical genre tracks. They really care about the songs and come to truly listen. I've also always declared myself a songwriter-singer. Songwriter first, singer second. So, I think naturally they expect to have more of a low-key, intimate, songwriter-y experience and I believe that expectation is delivered upon. However, something that seems to catch some by surprise is that when I'm with The Fixin's we sorta put on a rock show too and really... that's nothing new. When making the set-list each night I do my best to pull from the entirety of my 20+ years of catalog to include songs from all eras. A good many of those early ones were rockers written by a teenage me who was more influenced at the time by classic rock than I was by classic country. A few of those even went on to be recorded by more rock-leaning bands. Thank goodness. My resume and light bill appreciates it. And it's just cool to see friends succeed. I guess I say all this to say - for listeners who've become familiar more recently, dig on into the back catalog stuff too. You might recognize more than you think. And for the folks who've been around a while... you already know. Thanks for caring. - Sincerely, Brent & The Fixin's.
