Frank Fairfield - Nine Pound Hammer

Hands down the best album I’ve heard in a long long time. Heard his self-titled album playing in Harvest Records last week in Asheville, and had to ask about him.

There are two things that amaze me about this album:

1. This music is coming out of CALIFORNIA. WTF?! I suspected he crawled out of the hills of West Virginia or North Carolina.

2. This album was released in September, 2009. Not September, 1909.
