Ronnie Fauss
Ronnie Fauss is an alternative country singer-songwriter based in Dallas, Texas.〔http://www.americansongwriter.com/2013/04/qa-ronnie-fauss/〕 Fauss was born in Oklahoma and raised in Houston.〔http://popcultureblog.dallasnews.com/2012/10/local-music-connection-dallas-based-alt-country-singer-songwriter-ronnie-fauss.html/〕 He showed musical inclinations from an early age, writing songs and taking lessons in piano, guitar, and drums.
Fauss recorded numerous demos with friends in Texas throughout the 2000s. The songs ranged from folk to rock to country to bluegrass, and were influenced equally by the alt-country movement of the 90s (Wilco, Old 97s, Son Volt, Whiskeytown, Slobberbone) and classic Texas troubadour singer-songwriters (Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt,〔http://www.cmtedge.com/2012/11/16/take-a-look-at-ronnie-fauss-i-dont-see-you/〕 Kris Kristofferson, Todd Snider). In early 2012, he released a collection of 11 of these recordings called “The Sun Is Shining Somewhere But Somewhere Isn't Here”. The album contains 9 originals and 2 covers (“Clay Pigeons” by Blaze Foley, and “Just The Other Side of Nowhere” by Kristofferson).
Also in 2012 Fauss signed with New West Records.〔http://www.newwestrecords.com/artists/ronnie-fauss〕 They released his full-length debut “I Am The Man You Know I’m Not” on their new imprint Normaltown Records on 10/9/12.〔http://countryfriedrock.org/ronnie-fauss-1302/#.VCMfROd9ZJN〕 The album reached #31 on the Americana music chart, #2 on the Texas Roots Country chart, and #6 on the European Americana chart. The New York Times said of the album “songs as memorable as the titles are clever”,〔http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/10/arts/music/at-sxsw-2013-plenty-of-homegrown-texas-talent.html?_r=0〕 and Vanity Fair Spain said of the album “the dream of every lover of Americana: a cross between Steve Earle and Gram Parsons”. The album received a good response from Texas publications such as Lone Star Music “merits a spot on any shortlist of rising troubadours worth paying serious attention to”〔http://www.lonestarmusic.com/magazine/mag_html/jan13/lone_star_music_reviews.html〕 and Texas Music Magazine called it “one of the best albums of the year”.
In 2014 Fauss released his second album on New West / Normaltown records called Built To Break. Fauss cites the Old 97's and Slobberbone as key influences in his music and Rhett Miller shares lead vocals with Fauss on the album's signature track, "18 Wheels." In an interview about the album, Fauss said, "But on this one song, '18 Wheels' we just had the idea that this would be a cool opportunity because it tells a couple of stories and it’s a truck driving song. So it would be a good opportunity to get involved somebody else that has a recognizable voice and could come in and take some guest vocals. And I said there would be no one better for both symbolic reasons and a sound reasons than Rhett Miller." 〔from an interview on (Americana Music Show #230 ), published January 26, 2015〕
