Fleming & John (Fleming McWilliams and John Mark Painter) are probably best known for a mildly popular AOR hit called "Ugly Girl," though they also have some popularity coming because of their odd matching of music and lyric (as with "Winter Wonderland" to the tune of "Misty Mountain Hop" and "I Got You Babe" to the tune of "Black Dog").
The biggest problem with this talented husband-wife duo is the fact that they release far too little of their own music in recorded format. I'm delighted to post F&J's MySpace store, featuring (as of this add) two new--at least to me--Fleming and John tunes.
As for the sound, I was a bit disappointed at all the noise on "The Way We Are." I like a stripped-down sound considerably more. Over the Rhine's "Drunkard's Prayer," for example, was a delight.
