FRED EAGLESMITH
Tinderbox (available
on CD and vinyl)
Released 2009
Tinderbox. Fred
calls it alternative gospel (Gospel
for non-believers).
It's full of backsliders and people
living on the margins. It rocks and
rolls with distortion and preachers
and end times. It happens on dirt
roads
and in little clearings with snakes
and field workers and people driving
away. People say it is the best album
Fred has ever made. Believe!

Award-winning
Eaglesmith inspires comparisons to
icons like Woody
Guthrie and Bruce
Springsteen, tops the roots music charts,
and boasts devoted fans that include
a slew of his fellow songwriters. Ink
19.com praises Tinderbox as “Earthy,
simple, beautiful. Fred Eaglesmith
once again delves into elemental and
primal
aspects of human existence with the
eloquence, literacy, musicality, and
emotional potency
that have become his trademarks. ‘Chain
Gang’ is probably the best Springsteen
song that Bruce never wrote but will
wish that he had.” Eaglesmith’s music has been
described by reviewers as a “blend
of aching country and barroom rock” and
a “mixture of hard-edged honky-tonk
balanced between rock’n’roll
and early ‘60s country music.” “Eaglesmith
masterfully blends country, folk, gospel
and rock to create an 18-track musical
odyssey through the Bible Belt,” observes
the McKeesport [PA] Daily News of the
album, which it describes as pure Americana. “Though
his songs have been covered by artists ranging from Toby Keith to Mary Gauthier to the Cowboy
Junkies, Fred Eaglesmith
isn't a household name. This first-rate
album should change that.”
