Album Notes

" Joe Fournier fuses power pop, rowdy Stonesy rock, and traditional country together and makes it sound as rootsy and americana as anything Steve Earle has released.  And a hell of a lot more fun, too." - Scott Homewood, AmericanaUK

" A rootsy sound that lands itself somewhere in between John Hiatt and Rockpile. He has the beats, the hooks and the punch to make this self-produced disc sound like anything he wants. We think it sounds great! " - Miles of Music

"Bursting with wry humour and with too many good riffs, Raw Sugar Shed has a grubby, unrefined appeal." - Helen Keen, Maverick Magazine

"Each song on Raw Sugar Shed is a little nugget of craft, attitude and emotion. A songwriter as good as Joe Fournier won't be kept in the shed for long."  - Jim Kelly, Canadian Musician Magazine

"Swampy, greasy and loaded with wry social commentary. Raw Sugar Shed is a great record." - Bob Cianci, Music Scene

" Raw Sugar Shed is one of those gems...a 12 track eccentric masterpiece." - David Blue, NetRhythms UK
