Meet Pete Francis. I know nothing about this guy other than 2 things: 1) He used to be in the band Dispatch, and 2) His new album is awesome.He's got a folk/alt-country type sound. Sometimes his voice sounds a little like Mason Jennings or Ryan Adams, but it's pretty unique so I don't have a good comparison there.
The songs on this album are really strong. My favorites so far include the title track and "Stowaway", which almost sounds like a mix between the aforementioned Jennings and John Prine. Great song!
This would be a perfect album for a road-trip across the Midwest. Enjoy!
Thank you! I really got into Pete Francis last winter, and this is a great album. As a major Dispatch fan, I have to recommend the new Braddigan album and State Radio is solid too!
