Johnny Dowd has made his latest album review of Homemade Pie available as a digital release on Bandcamp: "Dowd has always been a genre of his own, exploring the alleys connecting blues, country, vaudeville, funk, rock and maybe of dozen more. His songs are populated with losers, disgruntled, lovers, con men, players, and small time crooks. Thankfully they never show any signs of regret or remorse, which makes for far more interesting stories than gratuitous happy ending. Exhibit A: the title track Homemade Pie, the story of a sketchy salesman who gets shot and crucified".

He is hoping to do a string of house concerts and hit up a couple of intimate venues in 2023. Maybe, just maybe, he might make it all the way to the West Coast, so that his niece's new baby can finally lay eyes on her cool great uncle.
