Currently working on a second album release of Lies and Other things which will include Don't Call Me Heartless, Bittersweet and 9 other songs. It is being mixed here in Los Angeles. It is about the complexities of falling in and out of love and back in again, sometimes. What else is there? It is another classic rock style album inspired by the British Invasion and soft rock of the 70s such as Fleetwood Mac, John Lennon, the Eagles and other groups as well as including other stories about being human.
I am a guitarist, songwriter, singer working on my second album release. My first album "Rock America" was mixed and mastered in the early part of 2021 and is available through Spotify and other streaming sites. It is about a divided America, facing many great challenges, and about universal themes we all face. Music is what keeps us together and Rock is one of the most important genres in this respect. Having brought us through the Vietnam War as did blues and swing during the depression and WWII. Great music rises when the country faces great challenges, and it is inevitable it will happen again.
I've been a musician-songwriter since 1964. I have worked with musicians of all ages and cultural backgrounds, and am open to all rock, blues, Latin, and island influences as well as other genres. This is my first release of a backlog of many songs yet to finish producing in future. Please feel free to check out my site at americanrockrevival.com and automotive art at classicautorenderings.com. Excerpts from the new release which includes You've Got To Be Joking can be heard from the new release Rock America.
I have worked with many other songwriters adding backup rhythm, vocals and leads. I am also familiar with both tape and digital recording and understand the process of mastering. Music has always been my first love whether it be to perform in public or jam in a casual setting but to be creative and original it needs input from many sources.
Classical Music, Jazz, Classic Rock, Country, Blues, Movie Themes, British Rock, specifically the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Rolling Stones, and earlier here in the U.S. bluesmen like BB King, Muddy Waters have also been great influences on my style. I have grown up when blues, classic rock, rockabilly, Motown, and alternative rock artists including grunge, punk and reggae were common fare for rockers. A
Thanks for listening.
