Fromohio (stylized as fROMOHIO) is the third album by the American alternative rock band Firehose, released in 1989.[7][8] The album maintained the acoustic and folky sound of If'n. It's called that because it's from Ohio.[9]
Production
[edit | edit source]The album was recorded in singer-guitarist Ed Crawford's home state of Ohio.[10]
Critical reception
[edit | edit source]The Los Angeles Times wrote that the band "balance their familiar dice 'n' slice, genre-leapin' riffin' with more straightforward song structures."[4] The Chicago Tribune thought that "Crawford's guitar-playing is becoming a more integral part of the band's three-pronged attack. [Mike] Watt's bass and [George] Hurley's drums remain at the core of the band's sound, a dynamic synthesis of punk, funk and free jazz that was pioneered by the Minutemen."[11] The Ottawa Citizen wrote: "Imagine a technically imperfect band that has the art of free-form fusion mastered."[12]
Trouser Press called the album Firehose's "best, most accessible work," writing that Crawford "has absorbed a bit of his bandmates’ eccentricities, and his voice has lost some of its shriller edges."[13] The Rough Guide to Rock thought that, "in the best possible way, it was a very American record, rich in tradition and innovation."[8]
