Lyrics from Only Son Of The Ladiesman

Father John Misty, born as Joshua Tillman, is far from a newcomer to the music world. The former Fleet Foxes drummer has been releasing folk albums since 2004, starting with the super limited release of, I Will Return; followed by 2005’s Long May You Run; 2006’s Europe only release of Minor Works; 2007’s Cancer and Delirium--Tillman’s most successful album to date; 2008’s Vacilando Territory Blues; 2009’s Year in The Kingdom; 2010’s Singing Ax. And finally, the Jonathan Wilson produced, Phil Ek mixed, Fear Fun, released May 2012 on Sub Pop in the US and Bella Union in the UK and Europe. Tillman’s latest release came after a move to what he has called, a “spider-shack” in Laurel Canyon, from Seattle where he lived after dropping out of college in 2004. His sorrowful vocals and acoustic sound has garnered him comparisons to English musician, Nick Drake.
