What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (cd)



Joshua Tillman is his real name. I guess he doesn't like it. Former drummer for Fleet Foxes and the
music is similar. Laid back folky alt-rock. He cites his influences as Nick Drake, Gram Parsons and
Pete Seeger, but I see no similarity to any of those here. Shows seven albums as a solo act prior to
this one and his FF stint, but they are said to be much different. This one is the first under the
FJM name and is a grower for sure for me as most of this type of music is. Only one track fails and 2
love tracks. Strange packaging here with 2 bulky fold out booklets that unfold so many times you're
never sure if you got it back to the original form. Lyrics on one side of one of those with the other
3 sides appearing to be a novel. If I ever run out of books to read I guess I could pull this out. In
other words it will never be read. The lyrics are good though.
