Album Notes

Gabriel Lyon's first full length album "Rising From the Dead" brings together the vocal drama of Jeff Buckley and the melancholy of Red House Painters and Nick Drake, while throwing in the jazziness of Nina Simone, the grimey edge of Iggy Pop, and lyrics straight out of a Woody Allen movie. With song subjects ranging from zombies to airplane crashes to Wile E. Coyote, "Rising From the Dead" is filled with an unusual variety, all carried with Lyon's sense of drama, pop sensibilities, and sometimes twisted sense of humor. With intelligent lyrics and catchy hooks, this album pleases music snobs and casual listeners alike.
