What the Critics Had to Say about Just Fade Away by Brian Krumm and His Barfly Friends This is a gorgeous record, where the songs that hit hardest, that insinuate themselves as open questions, change by the day, but each one seems to send down deeper roots, and come up with more historypersonal, social, mythicalevery time you play it.Greil Marcus (Rolling Stone, Creem, Village Voice)The 11-song collection produced by Christian Moder and Brian Krumm is a delight with tunes like Never Do as Im Told, excellently performed.John Apice (Americana Highways)Krumm, who cites influences ranging from the Jayhawks and Warren Zevon to Bob Dylan, has a gravelly voice that at times recalls artists like David Johansen, Tom Waits and Garland Jeffreys. Among the well-hooked numbers are Barfly Friends, a ballad that looks back affectionately on a past relationship and the rocking, organ-spiced Back in My Old Neighborhood, in which Krumm revisits assorted haunts and concludes nothing much has changed, except for me.Jeff Burger (theaquarian.com)Brian Krumm and His Barfly Friends is the first solo project from Brian Krumm, front man for Chicagos Americana-noir group The Great Crusades. His debut album, Just Fade Away was recorded with members of his regular band as well as a whos who of Chicago music scene notables with Crusader Christian Moder and Krumm producing. Just Fade Away was released by Pravda Records in June 2023.Influences like Robyn Hitchcock, the Jayhawks, Warren Zevon, and Dylan shine through all the material on Just Fade Away with his storytelling at the forefront. The album gives listeners a sonic snapshot of remembrances from Krumm and a life lived observing a perplexing yet utterly inspirational world. Now, Krumm is preparing a much-anticipated follow-up for issue in 2025.Grab dinner from BABYGOLD BARBECUE***PARKING***There is rather limited street parking in the area, we recommend arriving by rideshare, bicycle, or rickshaw. ***AGE RESTRICTIONS***ALL AGES
