Fruit Bats: From a Soon-to-Be Ghost Town

After a few years on his as a solo artist, Eric D. Johnson returns to his old moniker, Fruit Bats.  Truth be told, he missed his old songs and working with a band and hated the idea that every time his name appeared in print it was followed by parenthesis holding his former band name, so he decided to ditch his own name and go back to Fruit Bats.

After a few years on his as a solo artist, Eric D. Johnson returns to his old moniker, Fruit Bats. Truth be told, he missed his old songs and working with a band and hated the idea that every time his name appeared in print it was followed by parenthesis holding his former band name, so he decided to ditch his own name and go back to Fruit Bats. Today's Top Tune, From a Soon-to-Be Ghost Town, is from his forthcoming sixth album, Absolute Loser.
