TFDI - When I Stop Running

TFDI (Totally F*ckin’ Doin’ It) - Tony Lucca, Matt Duke and Jay Nash all have their own singer/songwriter careers to tend to, but when they join forces on their harmony-rich full-length debut something special happens...recorded live in the studio as the three faced each other in a tight circle, the new project follows up their 2009 self-titled EP and includes nine originals and three covers that close the album: Willie Nelson’s “On The Road Again,” Bright Eyes’ “Lover I Don’t Have to Love” and Tom Petty’s “American Girl” // Release: When I Stop Running (July 19, Rock Ridge Music) // Sounds like: each of the trio's own particular style is on display -- Lucca's blue-eyed soul, Nash's sturdy Americana and Duke's spirited alt/pop -- but it is the simply-produced acoustic folk/rock backing and classic Crosby, Stills and Nash-styled harmonies that define the inspired sessions // Quote: “It felt very easy, which is rare. To trust your collaborators so deeply is a big deal.”- Matt Duke // What we like: like most of the album, lead single "Stranger In A Strange Place" entwines the trio's layered vocals in pitch-perfect harmony, the stripped-to-the-basics strummed instrumentation serving to spotlight what makes this album a standout: the singing and the songs...Duke's insightful reading of Conor Oberst's "Lover" makes for a passionate, haunting listen while "If I Was A Ghost", with Nash taking lead, draws us in with a great melody and some exquisite acoustic picking...
