Album Notes

Raised in a Low Income home and spending many years on the streets with nothing more than an acoustic guitar and extra close in his case Aaron Gabbard has stayed true to his roots of originality along with his different styles of tunings and melodic melody's strait from the soul. When he sings it come from the emotions that are not seen on the outside. His deepest emotions of sadness, betrayal and hopes to one day fit in fuels his drive to stay true to his style of music. True pain can be heard inside his melody's and different vocal styling. This cd is not only an achievement but evidence that anyone who plays music no matter how rich or poor can show the world that you don't have to have everything to make something wonderful. Aaron has been in an array of different bands and played many cover songs with other bands and has learned that they mean nothing if they don't represent there true self,he is not only a musician but an artist. Like a painter who mixes two colors to make another his music flows on a canvas of strings and truly shows what a person can make with no budget, limited equipment and will power to express his past, future, fears, dreams, betrayal, love, hate and desires. Many of the songs of heartbreak stem from the loss of loved ones and the backstabbing of so many people who were thought to be friends. It is a work of a man who secludes himself in order find himself and appeals to anyone who has loved or lost, been left alone or had dreams that never reach there full potential. It opens the mind, body and soul through sounds that euphorically capture the ear and can comfort the damaged ego.
