Panama Red | HomeGrown

You won't find anything more honest than the music of Panama Red.
CD, Kinkajou

Tekst: Maurice Dielemans

The title says it all. This do-it-yourself collection of ten raw demos is just Panama Red and his guitar in all its honesty and nakedness. As Panama writes in the liner notes, it could have been tighter, slicker, fuller, but probably not better. A little collection, lo-fidelity at its rawest, from a talented rock'n'roll star, with only an unplugged guitar, a good sense of humour, and the poor man's blues, robbed of all clothes and money. So, who is this poor boy lost in Austin? Well, Panama Red is actually one of the original members of Kinky Friedman's Texas Jewboys and also a co-writer of many famous Friedman songs, such as 'Rock'N'Roll Across the USA' and 'Popeye The Sailor', which are both included on 'HomeGrown'. You won't find anything more honest than the music of Panama Red. His unique and sometimes cynical style of singing and playing immediately shines through, often sad and happy at the same time, whether he sings the heart-wrenching love ballad 'Little Rose' or the sing-along 'Lost In Austin' and 'Popeye The Sailor' .
