bought from his site. Just mention in your Paypal order. We send via first
class mail as soon as we receive your order.

"It's weird, uncompromising and, compared with anything I've heard this
millennium, certainly unique. 'A Drunkard's Masterpiece' is a creative car
crash of Americana, beatnik rock, poetry, prose, jazz rock, rap, screaming
metal guitar, retro pop, spoken word and country noir."-Sylvia Simmons, MOJO

"There's nobody quite like Johnny Dowd, a dapper 60-year-old Texan absurdist
who recorded his first album 10 years ago. . . . Here, duetting with Kim
Sherwood-Caso, he offers deadpan, lyrical opinion on his two favourite
subjects-alcohol and the differences between men and women-like Charles
Bukowski backed by a jazz-country funk shuffle. It's really quite brilliant,
putting to shame artists half his age."-Peter Shepherd (Uncut)

"Set over three opuses. . . 'A Drunkard's Masterpiece' was recorded mostly
live on an eight-track in three days, although the invention on display here
belies that fact. [Dowd] treads a familiar lovelorn path lyrically, but his
band runs effortlessly through jazz ('Random Thoughts'), funk and, in one  of
the album's standout tracks, 'Infidelity/Gargon vs. the Unicorn,' everything
from psychedelic-sounding country to bludgeoning heavy metal."-Philip Wilding
(Classic Rock)


Coming shows:

Friday, May 23: Castaways, Ithaca, NY, with Wingnut
