THE BATTALION
Bringing the ’60s to Aggieland
By Stuart Hutson
The Battalion
In a city where country music is king and cowboy
boots are the dress code, a musical sound echoing from
the ’60s and early ’70s can be a welcome change. Boast
ing a sound and a look that mimic those of Elvis Costel
lo, singer/songwriter Phil Pritchett said he is drawn back
to Aggieland on almost a bimonthly basis by the unique
reception of his mellow sound by the residents of the
College Station.
“I love playing at A&M. It’s the greatest place to
play in Texas, and trust me. I’ve played ’em all,” Pritch
ett said. “The residents make you feel lucky to be there,
and it’s great to bring them a little bit of a fresh sound
that they don’t get too often.... I’ve gotten a lot of guys
in cowboy hats who will come up to me after a show
and ask what Elvis Costello CD they should buy. It’s
great.”
Pritchett will be playing at Fitzwilly’s on Northgate
Wednesday as part of a tour through Texas to promote his
fourth solo release album. Heritage Way. Pritchett said
his musical venue often gravitates toward college towns.
“You often find yourself and your music more ap
preciated in college towns as opposed to just the larger
cities where the audiences can get a little dry,” Pritchett
said. “In the '80s, R.E.M. started off by building a large
college following. I guess I'm doing the same thing, but
it’s fun because they are an audience I can challenge
with my music and they can feed off of it and come back
for more.”
Pritchett said his performance Wednesday will fea
ture an addition to his band’s usual lineup, a secret guest
musician.
“We are promising a big surprise,” he said. “A well-
known, classic-rock hero will be there, and I can guar
antee a surprising and extremely entertaining show like
you have never seen before, even if you have come to
hear us play a hundred times before.”

during an average “The

Although many may think that
Elvis Costello’s time has passed,
the harmonic reincarnation of this
performer in the form of Heritage
Way is, admittedly, a welcome
change to the power-chord-driven
pop music of today.
Granted, the lyrics are some
times sappy, and the low, mellow
voice of Phil Pritchett can some
times drag on.
However, one can hardly think
of a better set of tunes to go ata
