| Album Description: |
Album is a very mixed state of song demos. We'll say demos to account for the amount of time they were recorded in and quality of sound. A couple songs are probably going to make it onto the first official Tambourine Club release hopefully to be out in 2007. It will probably be in 'maxi-single' style with album to follow. ..Back to the RPM Challenge album. The Album contains two 'number one hits', 'kansas city' & 'on the radio.' Most definitely. They are modern day pop rock anthems! It is the Velvet Underground, meets Oasis, meets the Sleepy Jackson. There are also some more intimate stripped down recordings such as 'yesterday' and 'I had a dream'. Including 'Kansas City' (my hometown), there is also another song relating to somewhere I used to dwell for a couple of years, 'Nashville'. The song is a relation to working 12 hour shifts in the middle of the night at a recording studio, for very little money. Hence, working for the 'love of a song'. Also, the last song, 'the end', is a good look into what a song 'idea' of mine may sound like that is put down to be recorded later. 'The end' is just an idea for a song, and if you listen, what is being sang is basically just 'mumble', not actual words or sense, but these 'mumblings' and so forth are what is later transformed into songs. The 'mumblings' and acoustic are what put down so I an remember the melody gong through my head at the time and I do not lose the song idea. I wanted to put this on because many people who are not musicians, or some that are, wonder how a song starts out or how the idea comes about, and I wanted to show how the very beginning of an idea for a song of mine starts out. Ok, this all said, you need to hear the collection for yourself to see what you think. Take care, and we hope to hear from you.
Always, Bryan.
