A new album from Creed (the actor)

creed brattonCreed has a new album. No, I'm not talking about the former Christian rock band with the lead singer who can't hold his liquor -- I'm talking about Creed Bratton, the actor. He's the guy who plays Creed on The Office.

His co-star, Jenna Fischer, posted about his album on her MySpace page. Of course, I had to listen. Creed's character is the dirty guy who liked the old Dunder-Mifflin social media webpage where pedophiles congregated. What kind of music does he make? Well, it has a lot of guitar. There's a folk/rock sound to it that reminds me of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Creed is actually a well-known musician. Before he was an actor, he played for about 10 years in a band called The Grass Roots. They had about a dozen hits before they broke up in 1975. This new album is his third solo album. You can listen to it (and buy it!) at CD Baby.

In just about every case, the people I talked to were kind, courteous people who made the trek to Scranton to a) meet the people they'd been talking to online and b) perhaps get a chance to hear their favorite stars talk.

This is not what I'd been hoping for.
