ELEPHANT's GERALD - HEALING, the Journey from There to Here
Free Range, Locally Grown, Organic, Cage Free, NON-GMO Music !!!
Healing is a 26 song retrospective of Michael Hughes' and Roger Brainard’s time spent as the ELEPHNAT’s GERALD. Healing is drawn from 5 CD’s produced from 1995-2002 and represents a sort of 'Best of the Elephant's Gerald' including a few songs not on previous works and a two live versions. HEALING reflects personal experience and the greater human condition as only the Elephant's Gerald could do. Michael’s lyrics cut like a scalpel to the core of eternal questions while Roger’s arrangements provide them a perfect juxtapositional backdrop and a platform for his experimental style on Guitar. The Elephants have been called ‘music for the thinker’. (hmmmmm)
The songs on this collections range from Michael’s haunting solo performance of “Lost on the way to the Ball’ to the Electric Rocker “King on Every Corner” and all points in between. The result is an enduring and listenablity that is rare in our cookie cutter world.
‘HEALING’ was a long time in coming. Roger and Michael ‘diversified’ in 2002 and it has only been in 2009 that times and seasons seemed right to resume the journey that started last century. As achieved material was reviewed for this set many song ideas and non finished works were discovered. Who knows, maybe 2010 will see some new Organic / Free Range / Cage free music from the Elephant’s Gerald.
Give a listen I am sure you will enjoy the journey. Listen to selecte full length HI REZ songs on: www.myspace.com/rogerbrainard
