Johnny Dowd

I never talk about this guy but he's incredible.

The guy makes Johnny Cash's darkest song sound like a song from a Barney Movie - he's incredible and his live show is one of the greatest balls out live shows I've ever seen.

He's grey haired, in his 50's, and is a furniture mover in NY - Itheca -

meanwhile soulless boob jobs get record contracts.

He's pretty well known in the Americana scene - anyone know of him or ever seen him live? (me - twice)

Here's his website - check it out (http://www.johnnydowd.com)

Any free music donloads available on his site?

not sure about free...

but there are 45-60 sec. samples of EVERY song on EVERY ALBUM on the Album page - so no way you'd buy something and not know what you're getting into. He's not afraid to put it out there.

he's about as indie an artist as you can get - but wide selection of what he's played.

Until further notice, I'm borrowing his first album photo for my avatar - /images/graemlins/grin.gif
