New RESONATOR cd now available!

Greetings, bloggers and Fletchfans:
This week Fletcher Rhoden.com is releasing my new covers cd, RESONATOR. First, for those interested in such things, there are a few noteworthy facets to this new cd. It's my second all-covers cd in a row, following up the late-2008 release CLASSIC JACK. And like CLASSIC JACK, RESONATOR includes versions of popular tunes that are vastly different from the original versions. But unlike CLASSIC JACK, which features different genres for each cover, RESONATOR is basically Delta blues versions of classic rock tunes, so there's not so much disparity or variety of song styles. This is also the first cd without an electric guitar since the unreleased SERIO from 1989 or the half-live, half-demo release ACOUSTIC ROCK from way back in 1986. Yikes. And, unusual for a group of recordings from me, there's only one guitar solo on all ten tracks. When you hear it, you'll know why. There is a lot of harmonica on it though, an instrument I haven't recorded with for almost 10 years. I don't want to say too much more about this new CD, since there are even more exciting things to come from this particular project, I suspect, and I don't want to give too much away too soon. But I do think it's a pretty snappy little cd, regardless. I wasn't even going to release these new recordings, but they did come out pretty well, and I'd like to drum up interest for future exploitation of this very novel music. Tunes are up at the Yahoo group fletcherrhodengroup -- you have to join, but it's confidential, it's free and it's fun -- like me. If you count my cd of originals from a few months back, NEW HEAVEN, both recent covers cds and my Christmas tune, I AM THE ONE, it's clear that I haven't cranked out the music at this rate since the late '80's or early '90's. What can I tell you? As I explained to American Chronicle, if I could help it, I would. Until then, let's keep rockin' a little while. Where's the harm in that?
There is still an amazing amount of cool stuff coming up, but 2009 is off to an incredible start and we here at FR.com can't wait to share the joy!
Arise and shine in 2009!
