Album Notes

Fragilistic is a rare treat! Not your trendy fad of the day, this music is of the kind that lives on forever. This CD traverses a lot of territory, but is bound together by an emphasis on strong melodies and top-notch craftsmanship. This is not a retro rock effort, but one cannot help thinking of Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Carole King and Bonnie Raitt as a short list of influences here.

Reviewer Mike Pope writes:
"From the opening track "Rocket Ship" you are taken on a ride that seems to contain influences from the top acts of the 60's and 70's. It's almost like all of your favorite artists of that era got together for a week-long studio jam and this CD is the cream."

Beware! This is not a CD where all the songs sound the same. Fragilistic turns a lot of corners, and contains a smorgasbord of musical surprises and effects. Hop around and check it out! There's bound to be something for everyone here.

Fragilistic is a collaboration of Colette Gschwind and Larry Galletta with some very special guests including Al Moss from "Hillbilly Idol", and Rob Luoma from "Crooked Mile".

This is one CD that cannot be judged by listening to quick samples of one or two songs. Dig in! It's a fun but winding ride to the very end.
