The Lemon Twigs are not the phenomenon they are by accident.Brian and Michael D’Addarios’ father is a brilliant songwriter and musician in his own right.The Lemon Twigs pay tribute to him by producing and performing on a collection of their father’s music (with Ronnie involved every step of the way).Songs By Ronnie D’Addario features 13 tracks written by Ronnie with special guests and collaborators: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Todd Rundgren adds his layered lead and backing vocals to “I See The Patterns” and Canada’s Mac DeMarco leads “Love’s Won Me Over.” Sean Ono Lennon, Darian Sahanaja and Probyn Gregory (The Wondermints, The Beach Boys, Brian Wilson’s band), and Matt Jardine contribute vocals and accompaniment to others – all while The Lemon Twigs and Ronnie D’Addario hold down the performances on these stellar tracks.
