Join The Fran Club

Travis is one of the most unappreciated bands going, which makes their frontman Fran Healy the most unappreciated frontman going, which means that most people are missing out BIG TIME on a whole lot of fun and lovely music.  Their/your loss!  You can keep yer Thoms & Radioheads and Chrises & Coldplays, cause we’d rather have our Frans & Travises and their awesomenessness!  Heck, seeing Fran and axe-man Andy Dunlop present a stripped down version of classic Travis ditties resulted in the 3rd greatest concert we had ever seen!!  So what would happen if you remove Andy and just let Fran go it alone?  The answer is his first solo joint, Wreckorder, and while it may not be the 3rd greatest album of all time, it’s equally as delicious and head-bobbin as any Travis album!  Out of the 10 cushy songs, 8 are udderly franztastic (much love to and for ‘Buttercups’ & the Neko Case duet on ‘Sing Me To Sleep’), with 2 being less than memorable.  We’re no mathmagician, but 8 outta 10 is purty dangs good, no? And having Paul McCartney play bass on one of yer songs aint bad, right?  Fran, please never stop, even if the world ignores your bestness.  And oh yeah, if yer reading this, get the boys together and put out a covers only album, PLEASE!!!  Hit me baby a million more times!!!
