Tim Fite

Last weekend I saw Buck 65 out of pure curiosity. While he impressed, it was opener Tim Fite that stole the show. Fite and his sidekick sang harmoniously in an affected C&W drawl, perfectly executed and somehow managing to avoid being ironic. Fite even rapped at times, and all the while a video projection ran in the background (sometimes of Fite himself playing the same song). It was surreal and fun, well-executed all around.

When I researched Fite online I came across studio recordings of the same songs he played for us. They lack the charm of his unique stage show, but give them a go anyhow. You might chuckle, and if he piques your interest at all give the live gig a chance, it's worth it. Scout's honor.

From his latest, Gone Ain't Gone (Anti-):

Tim Fite - No Good Here

Tim Fite - Fourty-Five Remedies

From Two Minute Blues:

Tim Fite - I'll Never Drown

Tim Fite - Bitchisaid

Tim Fite - The Hostage and the Thief

Enjoy!
