Synopsis

Album Description

From the Byrds' Gene Clark to fabled country rocker Jerry Jeff Walker, Freddie 'Steady' Krc has crossed paths with some of the most colorful characters in American music. But Krc (rhymes with 'church') has always pursued his own singular musical vision. That vision is on full display in the latest incarnation of his band, the Shakin' Apostles, and their brand-new 2002 album, Frontier a Go Go. With its disparate flavors of country-rock, highly-melodic pop, psychedelica, Americana, Texas music, and singer/songwriter-style storytelling, Frontier a Go Go blazes a fresh musical trail. They are joined by guest musicians Rusty Young, the pedal steel virtuoso from Poco, and keyboardist Resse Wynans of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Double Trouble. Big Tex Records. 2002

CD Reviews

Frontier A Goin' Good!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Singer/guitarist/writer Freddie Krc returns with a strong album, described by a friend of mine as having a "Long Ryders fronted by Edgar Winter" sound. The band includes Bradley Kopp on lead guitar, "Waco" Jack McVey on drums and Spirit/Jo Jo Gunne/Firefall/Heart veteran Mark Andes on bass; these guys are very tight and excellent players. Guest musicians include Rusty Young, Reese Wynans and memorable backing vocals by Lorrie Singer, among others.
All save one of the 12 songs are Krc originals, leading off with the spirited 'Austin Texas Blues' and also featuring a touching tribute to Jefferson Airplane/Moby Grape legend Skip Spence, 'Child Of The Universe'.
Freddie has a tasteful and diverse style of songwriting, ranging from blues to ballads to folk tinged psychedelia. Perfect traveling tunes for you fans of alt.country and the Austin music scene in general. The album has impressed all who've heard it so far, and I'm sure it'll get you tapping your toes also. Highly recommended!"
