Franc Cinelli aka Goodtimes Goodtimes is a purveyor of good music. This, perhaps, can be attributed to his musical background. He grew up with his mother's vinyl collection of Bruce Springsteen, The Police, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd and Bob Marley. As an adult, he plied his trade at countless shows in the UK before he made enough songs to release his first record, Glue.
Released last November, Franc's second, self-titled record sees him doling out a solid collection of folk, country and blues, drawing comparison to the legendary Bob Dylan. The album emanates a warm feel, just the kind of music you'd like to put on when you are reminiscing about the past or just shooting the breeze. I love how the harmonica and guitar-strumming builds up in "Point One", and the vocals in the background just lend a breezy and carefree feel. "Fortune Teller Song" is another song of note: It's a perky, straight-up character-driven song, a nod to 'the man who tells stories at the fairground'.
P.S. At the time of this posting, Franc just announced that he won't be playing under the Goodtimes Goodtimes moniker anymore.
