"Milly's Cafe" is Fred Eaglesmith's sixteenth release. It's raw, bare-boned and totally Fred. As his career has progressed, Fred's powerful and virtuosic songwriting has taken the forms of bluegrass, folk, country and rock n' roll. His rootsy songs reflect and comment on life and how we live it. With his new album "Milly's Cafe," Eaglesmith's sure, smoky voice delivers songs that illuminate everything from the hard-knock lives of truckers ("18 Wheels"), thieves and cowboys ("Milly's Cafe" and "Rocky") to the soft twilight beauty of the prairies ("Kansas"). Eaglesmith's lyrics turn the lives of everyday people into poem and song. From his beginnings with self-titled debut album "Fred J. Eaglesmith" to the present, Eaglesmith's lyric-driven songs and heart-rending performances have enticed audiences across the continent. Standard Jewel Case.
