Johnny Dowd decided that is way time to go back to the music he grew up with for his new album Homemade Pie, recorded with long time collaborators Kim Sherwood-Caso and Michael Edmondson:
i call my new album HOMEMADE PIE because i recorded it at my house and i like pie--i could have called it PIE A LA MODE but i didn't---i think this is the best batch of songs i've written in long time--i had plenty of time last year to dig in so that's what i did--i had one rule for writing and recording this record---no second guessing---in other words DON'T BE CLEVER [nobody likes a wiseass]--musically the album influenced by the music i grew up with-soul -blues-country + a little garage rock----like most records it's best listened to loud with windows down and nothing but open road ahead--i hope u like it--if not -no hard feelings
Some of the new stuff will surely be played during his tour. Dowd contributed his version of Farm Boy to The Wanderer - A Tribute To Jackie Leven, which will be available on September 17.
