Fantastic Cat- The Very Best Of Fantstic Cat
SKU: 850020196838
They said it couldn't be done. Four different songwriters joining forces to form a single band? There was simply no precedent (outside of CSNY, The Beatles, The Traveling Wilburys, The Highwaymen, Monsters of Folk, etc). And yet Fantastic Cat did it anyway, defying the odds and teaming up to record their highly unanticipated debut, 'The Very Best Of Fantastic Cat.' Captured in the wilds of the Pocono Mountains, the album gleefully careens between genres and decades, mixing electrified 60's folk and 70's AM radio gold with 80's heartland rock and 90's alt-country. The result is a record that balances careful craftsmanship and ecstatic abandon in equal measure, a raw, intoxicating collection captured live in the moment and fueled by the chemistry of four longtime friends making music for the sheer joy of it. Individually, each member of Fantastic Cat boasts their own impressive resume along with a litany of critical acclaim. The Guardian dubbed Don DiLego "one to watch." NPR said Anthony D'Amato "sings and writes in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen or Josh Ritter." Rolling Stone called Brian Dunne's latest single a "stunner" and praised Mike Montali's band, Hollis Brown, as "the soundtrack for a late-night drive through the American heartland." Collectively, though, the four transcend their respective roots, emerging as an instrument-swapping, harmony-trading, tear-jerking, wise-cracking rock and roll cooperative far greater than the sum of it's parts. They say some cats are born fantastic; others have fantasy thrust upon them. These guys are somewhere in the middle.
