Album Notes

Release Date: 8/5/03.
This is the debut album by Chris Charles, best known as the bass player and co-founder of the popular original surfabilly band, "The Surf Cowboys" that rocked Portland (Or) in the mid 1980's.

After a long break from the music business in the 90's, he has released this solo album. He calls it Anti-Nashville Country Folk Rock because it has all those elements, but he doesn't sound like a typical Nashville singer. And though you will usually find his albums in the country category, this is not a "Nashville" sound. No steel guitars here! There's a retro sound to Chris' music. Not because he's trying to sound retro, but because he really is!

Album Highlights:
"The Road Of Life": A metaphoric look at life.
"Red Cloud": A tribute to the only American Indian Chief who actually defeated the US Army.
"Waiting For Irene: Good old time rocknroll.
"At The Bottom Again": A good natured look at being bad off.
"Deranged": A little dark humor.

Great, original sound.

Definately not Nashville.  In fact, I wouldn't even call it "country", but I would call it refreshingly original.
