Oh My Goodness

"Oh My Goodness" is Donnie Fritts most polished record to date, an elevated and slight departure from the funky Muscle Shoals sound he's known for, but with every bit of the powerhouse songwriting that made the world take notice decades ago. "I didn't want to do just another funk album", Donnie says. "I wanted to do songs I really love and songs I never got to cut before." "People don't make records with 71 year-old guys," he says, his humility always sitting shotgun by his talent. John Paul White, formerly of the Grammy winning duo The Civil Wars, befriended Donnie in 2013 when he asked him to play at the Muscle Shoals documentary premiere in Alabama. Later, John Paul insisted the two cut an album. What began as a minimalist work - Donnie's raspy voice and his 1970's-era Wurlitzer - morphed into an amalgamation of fresh sound and honed talent backed by Nashville and Muscle Shoals legends, and rising brilliants alike. "Oh My Goodness" features appearances from John Prine, Jason Isbell, John Paul White, Brittany Howard, the Secret Sisters, David Hood, Dylan LeBlanc, Spooner Oldham, Reggie Young and members of St. Paul & the Broken Bones, Belle Adair and The Pollies.
