Er Father John Misty vor tids Glenn Frey?

“Josh Tillman's Father John Misty is a caricature of an over-coked ‘70s folk-rock burnout, and while he plays the role for yuks he plays his songs for real. His lyrics handle L.A. doom with a light touch, and his arch humor is often tempered with earned sadness and a growing virtuosity behind the microphone. His gentler old band, Fleet Foxes, might have claimed a more direct sonic lineage to the Eagles. But no one better embodies the tetchy, self-indulgent romance of Glenn Frey like Father John Misty.”

Jeg er ikke mand for en saglig sammenligning mellem Father John Misty og Glenn Frey. Father John Mistys uhyre popularitet på disse breddegrader er ikke gået mig forbi. Hans koncerter og pladen ’I Love You, Honeybear’ er blevet skamrost fra vrå til slot. Jeg har dog, hverken set ham live eller hørt albummet. Korrektheden af udsagnet herover, må jeg derfor lade andre bedømme.
