Fred is our second favortie Eagle of all-time and it's always a treat when he brings his Flying Squirrels by. Catch them this Thursday night at 8:30 pm. Advance tickets on sale now. Here's what The Los Angeles Daily News has to say aboot Fred: "Genuine Canadian farm boy Eaglesmith has long been a chronicler of country lives losing ground, and this latest collection is no different. Droughts, long-haul trucker loneliness, nursing-home cowboys, the title small-town waitress off on a robbery spree with her no-good boyfriend and, of course, that faded love -- the loyal fan base known as Fredheads have another soundtrack for their antidepressant hoedowns. It would all be too sad if Eaglesmith weren't such an evocative writer and if his verge-of-a-breakdown voice didn't convey the most dramatic and poignant emotional shadings."
