Fool Talkin' by Austin Stambaugh
Northeast Ohio singer-songwriter Austin Stambaugh's 11- track full length spoken word album. The record was recorded in Asheville, NC in the summer of 2020. Produced by Mark MacElhiney. Secluded in a shotgun shack in West Asheville, in an attempt to write a new record from scratch, Austin found himself surrounded by short stories and poems he had accumulated and decided to make an album of them. This is a new direction in his artistry and is a unique stamp in his musical catalogue.
"Austin Stambaugh is one of those rare, inspired songwriters who isn't just writing what he thinks he's supposed to. His dedication to real storytelling and poetry makes his work effortlessly entertaining. Fool Talkin' holds your attention from beginning to end. Austin Stambaugh frames the story in each track with the perfect, starkly appropriate musical accompaniment." -Noel McKay
