JOHN PAUL KEITH - THE MAN THAT TIME FORGOT (LP)

John Paul Keith The Man That Time Forgot on LP

John Paul Keith grew up outside of Knoxville, TN, the son of a truck driver. He learned to sing in church and he learned to play guitar when he was ten and his father gave him an acoustic and a copy of Chuck Berry's Golden Hits and The Best of B.B. King. It was the first music he had ever heard that wasn't country or spirituals; he didn't hear the Beatles until he was nearly in high school. A blistering guitarist and singer, and the kind of songwriter who makes great melodies and incredible lyrics sound effortless, he certainly seems like a sure thing, the kind of artist you just need to hit play and let it rip.

The story continues in 2011 with The Man That Time Forgot, Keith's sophomore album for Big Legal Mess Records. The album which was produced by Fat Possum Records veteran Bruce Watson, captures the spirit and energy of the One Four Fives' live shows, but explores a wider range of themes and influences, echoes of Tex-Mex, garage rock, countripolitan, mid-'60s soul/pop, blistering rockabilly, and even Mose Allison's brand of jazz-blues. From the Sir Douglas-like opener, "Never Could Say No," to the wry, closing-time waltz, "The Last Last Call," this is the work of an amazing songwriter and a bold step forward with an even broader scope than before.
