Album Notes

"Solitary Road" is the sophomore release by Columbus, Ohio-based keyboardist Bill Kurzenberger. Unlike his 2005 release "Suspending Disbelief", which featured Kurzenberger supported by a full backup band, "Solitary Road" features stripped-down versions of six original songs supported only by keyboards and voice. The album is a representation of Kurzenberger's live solo performance, and also showcases two brand-new originals, Genevieve and Skeleton Key.

While the majority of the album is steeped in Americana rock and blues, the final track is a significant departure to the world of ambient spacemusic. Clocking in at eighteen-and-a-half minutes, Tabula Rasa incorporates elements of worldbeat, jazz fusion, trance, and electronica. It was composed by Kurzenberger over a two-year time period, and recorded solely with a Yamaha Motif keyboard. Kurzenberger describes Tabula Rasa as "a musical representation of the past, present and future of life on Planet Earth."

"Solitary Road" was recorded over three years at several Columbus, Ohio recording studios: Wayz & Meanz Recording Studio, Bob's Guitar Shack & Recording Studio, and Musi-Col Recording Studio. Kurzenberger self-produced the album, with tracks engineered by Jeff Farner, Bob Sauls, and Adam Smith.
