Jason Lytle Just Wanted Your Love

Eight years and 4 albums later, Jason Lytle's Grandaddy is history. A victim of Indie's sometimes cruel profits: people need to make a living and sometimes courting the fringes you don't. So bandmembers left in their pursuit to feed their family, and Lytle is now on his Modesto own. What was great about Grandaddy, until they botched the followup to Sophtware Slump, was that Lytle and Co. had a piece of Indie sound to themselves. Space-age simply sung and oh so slow renderings of life in nothing to do Modesto. So, 2006's Fambly Cat sees him go out on a high note. There's even more a sense of letting go in these songs. A band on the outs. But Lytle leaves with an ELO cover. Riding his Shangri-La's in to his sleepy Northern California night.
