Texas cowboy Todd Fritsch will have to spend the rest of 2009 in a cast at home on his ranch instead of touring the country and singing for his fans.
Texas cowboy / singer Todd Fritsch has added some of the new material he recorded over the last couple of months in Nashville, TN to his live show set list.
"Calls I Haven't Made" and "In A Song" are ballads that bring out the best in Todd's voice and suit his vocal style very well. "Love Never Goes Out Of Style" is a honky-tonk tune that can compete with the best of them and "My Kinda Crowd" is an up-tempo barn burner guaranteed to be well received by Todd's fans.
This selection of songs represents some of the new material Todd and his team of industry veterans have been working on during his recent visits to Nashville and are expected to be included on his forthcoming album release in 2010.
