For the last 6 months, Jon Koonce and I have been working closely on a set of short-story-esque songs recorded in a studio above Doug Fraser's garage. In that cozy space with 3 mics, 2 old Gibson acoustics, and a Japanese Pachinko pinball machine, Doug tracks us, smacks us, and dares the two of us to write a little truer, sing a little harder, and play a little tougher. Jon's voice evokes so much passion it's inspired me to write seven new tunes rooted in folk, blues, and 60's rock. Even though we won't debut Koonce-Ross-Fraser 'New American Blues' until fall, here's a sneak preview video, produced by Doug and myself and featuring Jon. On the track I’m on acoustic, Doug on bass, Mel Kubik on harmonium, Tony Furtado on bottleneck, and Rindy on harmonies… called “I Won't Sing Here Anymore”. Marv Ross
