Jonny Fritz is back with a new album, a new hip, and a new homebase in Los Angeles, CA. Fritz's fourth studio album via ATO Records and was produced by My Morning Jacket's Jim James who influenced the album's pared-down and uninhibited sound. 'Sweet Creep' includes the lyricism of prior release 'Dad Country' with an added air of hopefulness. Recorded in James' makeshift hilltop studio in Montecito Heights, 'Sweet Creep' reverberates with the feeling of sunny vistas. From album opener 'Are You Thirsty' to the summer-crushy 'Humidifier', 'Sweet Creep' is a freshly-signed lease on life. Jonny throws himself into the new album by stripping things down to the essentials. He gathered Nashville's Joshua Hedley and Dawes' Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith and recorded the whole album in three days. The fresh air, freedom from studio pressures, and strong cups of tea all mix into the music, with ATVs briefly heard in the background and two senior tortoises listening at Hedley's feet as he fiddles away. Born in Montana and raised in Esmont, Virginia Jonny has passed weeks in nearly every city in the United States, and plenty others overseas, cramming ten lives into one. Despite the vitalism and exploits he's gained a name for, most of his music comes from the smaller moments. He takes a little piece of life, unnoticed by most, then steeps it in song until it's ready for vinyl. In contrast to the heartsick 'Dad Country', the songs of 'Sweet Creep' are, if not always brimming, at least fully accepting of his fortunes. Jonny is a torchbearer in that celebrated country music tradition of giant-sized personalities overflowing into song. John Hartford, Roger Miller, Billy Joe Shaver - fans look to these country musicians for more than just music. They look for life, for outrageous legend, for a showmanship on and off stage that Jonny Fritz will never fail to deliver. He might not have shot anybody, or spent any considerable time in prison, but on 'Sweet Creep', he reminds himself and his fans, that sometimes great lives can also be pretty good ones.
