Donnie Fritts - "Oh My Goodness"
Donnie Fritts - "Oh My Goodness"
Oh My Goodness is Donnie Fritts’ debut record for Single Lock-- his first release in over 10 years. It contains guest appearances from John Paul White, John Prine, Jason Isbell, Brittany Howard, Dylan LeBlanc, The Secret Sisters, Spooner Oldham, amongst others.
”He's not forgotten, because any time a fan enjoys a soul classic from his home of Muscle Shoals, Ala., relishes Dusty Springfield's definitive version of his composition "Breakfast In Bed," or weeps to a heartbreaker from Kris Kristofferson (with whom he played keyboards for four decades), Fritts is in the room. Still, he needs to be properly reintroduced in a 21st-century setting. Oh My Goodness is a hell of a calling card.” - NPR
