Album Notes Johnny Dowd: Michael Starks (keyboards); Willie B. (drums). Personnel: Johnny Dowd (vocals, guitar); Kim Sherwood Caso (vocals). Recording information: The Shop, Willseyville, New York. Since the mid-1990s, Johnny Dowd's mix of dark alt-country, gothic Americana, and quirky, angular, Tom Waits-like rock has made him a cult hero. A DRUNKARD'S MASTERPIECE continues Dowd's obsession with the seedy underbelly of America, framed by an idiosyncratic blend of twisted country, mutant blues, and avant-garde discord. Dowd's lyrics deftly mix "demons from the netherworld" and "backwoods charmers," maintaining his characteristic balance between gritty naturalism and murky mythology.
Editorial Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- [A] creative car crash of Americana, beatnik rock, poetry, prose, jazz rock, rap, screaming metal guitar, retro pop, spoken word and country noir. Mojo
