Spaghetti places value on new CD
Spaghetti will release his second solo album with Bloodshot Records, "The Value of Nothing," on June 18. Known to some as the front man/bassist for Seattle band The Supersuckers, Spaghetti follows up his 2011 label debut "Sundowner" with a new album composed entirely of fresh material.
Recorded in Austin with the aid of Jesse Dayton, the disc is a hybrid of the Supersuckers' lighthearted humor, Spaghetti's rock vibe and Dayton's honky tonk.
The song Waste of Time can be streamed.
Songs on the CD are:
1. The Value of Nothing
2. Empty
3. If Anyone's Got the Balls
4. Waste of Time
5. You Get to Be My Age
6. Fuckin' With My Head
7. People Are Shit
8. One Man Job
9. I've Got a Secret
10. When I Go I'm Gone
National solo tour dates will be announced soon.

His solo efforts - "Sundowner" is his third - lean more to country than rock, and there's a lot more restraint on display. On an album that consists mainly of covers, he avoids overemphasizing stylistic differences, and instead delivers straightforward versions of songs from Johnny Cash ...
Eddie Spaghetti is the leader of The Supersuckers, a rock band with a whole lot of country music in its blood. This solo release is almost completely country, however. Spaghetti's scratchy vocals won't give either George Jones or Merle Haggard a run for their money, but because he sings these 11 songs with complete sincerity, all is forgiven.
There aren't any country standards included here, but you might say everything is done in a country way. The disc opens with Bob Dylan's "Tonight I'll Be ...
