Joey Frendo may have commenced his debut full-length album, Bound for Heartache, with a nod to the adage, “you get what you get and you don’t throw no fits,” but no one will be throwing any fits over the project he has delivered. Frendo shows off his mindfulness of collective experiences we all face at one point or another and conveys them in heartfelt lyricism. His vocal delivery is slightly gritty, yet warm and sincere. The album paces through Americana, alt-country and classic honky tonk country music.
