One of my favorite songs is “A Boy Named Sue” by Johnny Cash. It is the story of a father that named his son Sue, so that he’d have to learn how to fight and stick up for himself. According to the song, the named worked and Sue grew up to be a hard drinking, hard fighting man that had “gravel in his guts”.
If that is indeed the impact of naming a child Sue, I never want to mess with Loren Francis. He is bound to be one tough son of a bitch. One other side effect I’ve noticed is that it also turned him into one hell of a singer/songwriter.
Francis is a Maine born Americana musician that writes from the heart and soul. He speaks of faith and loss, victory and heartache. He is a road warrior and has played all over the world. His vocals are warm and his lyrics are honest. So, if you like guys like Ryan Adams and Wilco, you’re going to love a boy named Loren Francis.
