Slackeye Slim - Texas Whore Pleaser (2007)

"Slackeye Slim began In the fall of 2006, with the demise of his noise/punk band in the recent past, Joe Frankland began to look for a new band. Growing frustrated with the lack of creative musicians in his rural Northeast Ohio town, he decided to begin a solo project. Having no experience with any instrument other than bass guitar, he began to collect various instruments and learn how to play them.

Frankland created a zombified and cannibalistic caricature of himself, based loosely on his frustrations with the modern world and American culture combined with his interest in history and especially the American West. He called this character Slackeye Slim and began to write and record a series of songs.

Less than a year after Joe Frankland began working on the first songs he had ever written as a solo artist, Slackeye Slim began to gain enough of a following to offer support for national acts, such as Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Those Poor Bastards, The .357 String Band, and Graham Lindsey.

On Christmas Day of 2007, Slackeye Slim’s first album, “Texas Whore Pleaser” was released. Completely self-produced and self-released, Slackeye Slim’s debut features twelve tracks and guest vocals by Lonesome Wyatt of Those Poor Bastards.

In spring of 2008, Joe Frankland and his brother, Eric Frankland, packed their things and headed west to Anaconda, Montana." ~ Last.FM
