Fat Dad – Charlie Mars
The slinky guitars, can’t-help-but-dance rhythm section, and luscious, counterpoint harmonies are only a small part of what makes Charlie Mars’s new single “Fat Dad” the most uniquely catchy song this side of the Gulf Coast. And that’s saying something because the production is top-notch funky.
