notes
Henry Pharr's double life continues. Charlotte suit and tie attorney by day, classy pop tunesmith by night. If Pharr's trial arguments are as solid and convincing as the nuggets he's been bashing out at night in the spare bedroom for he past six years, he must be winning a lot of cases. His musical modus operandi: muscular guitars and winsome melodies that hark back to both the Beatles and Big Star, coupled with a lyrical wit and approach that's as in touch with the late-90's pop culture zeitgeist as any other band in the region. It first surfaced locally, following Pharr's stint in the early-90's Chapel Hill pop gurus the Popes, in Major Nelson, a quartet that gave Charlotte scene two of its most solid rock CD's of the 90's. Following a Nelson meltdown and a brief stint as the band Feelix, Pharr and Major Nelson drummer Buddy Dukes return for the wonderfully named World Class Fad. I trust that everything that made Pharr's work cool in the past is still in place. Ken Johnson
