Album Notes

Picus Soldi and R. Maximus Sparhawk, aka Picus Maximus, are veteran musicians, having toured and performed their entire adult lives. Johnny Cash claimed Soldi was the best guitarist in the business. Sparhawk's voice has been likened to a cross between Bob Dylan and Tom Waits. Their recent release of The Tragedy of Johnny Patriot underscores their extraordinary talent as musicians/songwriters.

My wife and I listened to "Johnny Patriot" on our drive back to LA. We both send our applause--excellent work in all respects. Quite an extraordinary listening experience. Will this be a musical? It has the feel of "Jesus Christ Superstar."

Southern California Country-Rock at its purest, this album has it all. A heartbreaking tale whose theme is carried throughout the operatic story with many varied musical approaches: soaring lead guitars, bright acoustic rhythyms, incredible violin accents, Hammond B-3 underscores (ala Dylan's Blonde on Blonde), crisp drumming, crunching overdrive leads and pedal-steel droning, and growling, whisky-soaked, heart-felt lyrics poured out in earnest. A sad story, but an uplifting musical experience, I enjoyed this album very much. Although I hate putting labels on music, unfortunately our culture demands it. This is The Eagles meets Lynyrd Skynyrd, on stage at your favorite Honky Tonk. Cry in your beer, baby.
