The abrupt sensation of hearing Logan Fox’s voice for the first time is like stepping into the yard barefoot on a warm day in early spring; It’ll shock you upright for a second, but once you lean into the dirt you’ll forget you even own shoes. On his new track “Long Way To Go” he wastes no time diving into his gravel-traveled reflective heavy prose with “life’s a hard truth to swallow when you can’t stand tomorrow and I still got a long way to go.” The slow raucous style of the band is the perfect compliment to the unique delivery of a familiar Americana format (Tom Waits) topped off with a slide guitar tone like a stone-ground chocolate bar. Hopefully, there’s plenty more to come from Logan Fox.
“When I was a Kid, my papaw and dad owned a tire shop “B and R Tire” – I guess you could say being a mechanic was the family business. I spent a lot of time there growing up. One of my jobs was to take the old worn-out tires and stack them up behind the shop. Back then, most of them were bigger than I was. Honest work for a kid with nothing to do, wages could have been better though.
In the wintertime, if there was work to be done at home, my papaw would bring a couple of the old tires with him and set them on fire – you know, so everyone could stay warm. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. We all know better than to do stuff like that now, but that’s just the kind of thing people did back then,” says Fox.
