TURN DOWN THE HURRICANE kicks off this CD with a cool , laid back sound as Alex sings with so much conviction.This is a real toe tapper song. I love it. MONONGAHELA is a great folk song with the best lyrics I have heard in a long time. The is really laid back and will get in your head as the melody is everlasting.
PRAYER FOR NICOLETTE features Pyrenesia, and reminds me a bit of polka with the people singing in the background. I must admit, this song is quite a gem.CASSINI reminds me a bit of a Harry Chapin song as he sings and talks his way through the song. I find it intriguing.I'M YOURS has an amazing intro as it goes all through the song as he sings between the beats.I love it.
SPIN THE BIBLE has a great jive of its own as the band stays tight on every note. Check this one out for yourself. LEAVING NYC reminds me of being in a jazz club in N.Y.C. with the smoke in the air as the music consumes the room with everyone watching the band on the stage.This is a must song to hear.
