American Standards is a music CD fusion of worldwide influences with American roots and country, by creator Ian Fisher. Fisher's ties to Nashville as well as his experiences touring Europe, North America, and Africa show through the songs and the lyrics,
which touch upon what drove Fisher to emigrate. Fisher is raw, candid, and uncensored; it should be noted that the song "AAA Station" in particular is not FCC compliant for American radio. American Standards is heartfelt, powerful, and highly recommended.
The tracks are "Maybe a Little More", "Endless Drive Thru", "AAA Station", "American Standards", "Early Morning Haze", "Be Thankful", "In Front of Another", "One Foot (ft. Pressyes)", "Melody on Tape", "Melody in Nashville", "Three Chords & The Truth", "
It Ain't Me", "Winterwind", "Only Chruch with a God I Pray To", and "Ghosts of the Ryman".
