Album Notes

"The Big Hit" is a little bit of folk in a complicated world. Acoustic blues, intimate alt.country, a little rock and roll; old school American music. Liberal patriotic tunes on one hand, and a few tunes about unrequited love, or loves that went on a little too long on the other, in the grand American tradition of music from the people.

Track 9, "Green Valleys of Tennessee" is an intimate view of a soldier on the field.
Track 2, "Four Years too Long" is that kinda regret from leaving someone a bit too late.
Track 1, "Gas To Albuquerque Blues" is a punchy, tight blues number with rollickin' blues harmonica.
and Track 10, "Selfish" is what happens when you get a audience to sing along with an anti-inspirational confessional pop song: "I decided today to be a little more selfish; oh, I decided today to be a little more mean. It ain't in my nature but neither is success, and I'd rather be dirty than a f*in' failure and clean."

I like all of them; but those four might be a place to start.

REVIEWS

good unplugged music
author: AS
The album reminds me of country music, which I unfortunately don't listen to, being on the Left and listening to music that liberals listen to. "Four Years too long" will be my favorite song, because it almost tells my own sappy story. "Albuquerque blues" would be the entry song when they make a movie about me. The artist sure knows his guitar, and the lyrics are meaningful. A perfect CD for burning some green, lying down on the couch, and feeling the lyrics as well as the music.

These are tunes you will find yourself humming after listening to the cd a couple of times, especially selfish, very humorous and enjoyable. Hepatitis B also tickles my funny bone ! Andreas guitar work is wonderful.
