.com Before this album, Canadian singer/songwriter Fred Eaglesmith had been something of a folkie, but on Lipstick, Lies & Gasoline, he rocks out, making most cuts as much about rhythm as anything else. The opening "Seven Shells" is almost all rhythm--slow, insistent and creepingly malevolent. Whether singing about relationships that either fade away (the pathetic "Drinking Too Much") or explode into violence, Eaglesmith's typically dark themes are well suited by these new arrangements, so even when his character studies are too broad to be revealing ("Time To Get A Gun"), or when his insights are banal ("Alcohol and Pills"), their pulsing musical settings still compel. --David Cantwell

Fred Does It Again
Fred Eaglesmith, this album is gutsy, gritty, speaks to my heart even though I am a recovering alcoholic I love the "Outlaw Country" only Fred can place on the table and just grabs me by the guts and makes me feel those old feelings. Fred You are the man. Nicely Done.

not him personally) and found I just loved the music
I was introduced to Fred by a friend (his music, not him personally) and found I just loved the music. I could drive back to West Virginia listening to this guy and never get tired of him. Great artist, amazing story teller

Outstanding stuff !
I cannot quite believe there are no reviews for this one on Amazon UK , very strange.Fred has many fans in this country so i thought someone would have stepped up to the plate by now !This is simply an outstanding release , very possibly his best . There's no weak link here , not a slice of filler in sight. Trailer park classics ! With titles like Time To Get A Gun you can maybe guess where he's coming from , tales of working , blue-collar drinking men , Ordinary Joe's just trying to make sense of this crazy messed-up world.I recommend this without hesitation , if you like Ray Wylie Hubbard , Rodney Crowell , Billy Joe Shaver , guys like that , you'll love this. Superb.
