Truth is Stranger than Fishin’ is the debut release from four time Grammy nominees Trout Fishing in America.

Brian Mansville of Nashville Scene writes,

“Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet-who take their name from a Richard Brautigan novel of the 1960s-sound more like a band than the guitar/bass songwriting duo they actually are. Their songs are quite tasty, coming as they do from the lighter end of the Texas folk-rock side of things, and the Houston duo reels in some choice covers as well-John Gorka’s ‘Prom Night in Pig Town’ and Nashvillian Dana Cooper’s ‘Lucky Guy,’ for instance. If the humorous songs don’t get you, the straight ones will.”
