Album Notes

"WHISPER NOT THE ARRIVAL OF OBSCURITY'S HUNGER"

George and Susan Hanlon have a new 10- song CD that promises to capture your heart as their Art and Music collides.

With the most recent completion of the new CD "Obscurity's Hunger," the Hanlons are off and running to capture the eyes, ears and hearts of Music and Art lovers everywhere. The Hanlons' most current collaboration, a 10-song CD titled "Obscurity's Hunger" is a diverse mix of folk-rock ballads with compelling ...dare I say, "haunting"...storytelling.

Married for the last 10-plus years, Susan & George have been enjoying the fruits of their most current collaboration. Susan is an original oil painter. She paints diverse and sometimes controversial subject matter, always seeking to evoke a strong sense of compassion within the viewer. Here she does not stop, but then adds poetic lyrics to tell her stories which have universal themes: Lily in dangerous liaisons; a confidante of VanGogh's after he cut off his ear, the loneliness of obscurity, the fragility of the human spirit, to name a view. George takes over at this point and lets the painting actually express itself through his 35-plus years of musical experience. He plays acoustic guitar, bass, and harmonica and adds compelling vocals that truly give these great paintings the voice they long for.

Poignant indeed.

All songs were written by Susan Hanlon and all music has been written and recorded by George Hanlon.

Wasn't it Nietzsche who once said: "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

What Others have said:
Udderly Different:
Really great tune folks! Reminds me of Lou Reed and that's a compliment in my book!! Excellent tune!!

Very, very cool. Just kinda got lost in this song with all the word play and feel-good guitar work. Nice vocal, too. Totally enjoyed it.

Really love the light & breezy feel of the music. Interesting lyrics, and the vocals remind me a little bit of Tom Petty. Cool tune!

Obscurity's Hunger:
I Like the acoustic guitar and the chord changes.
The Lyrics are reflective and I always like that in a song.

Life Locked In:
Love the harmonica in this one. Very haunting- just the right feel to it. Haunting is a great way to describe this one- it brings goosebumps up. Lovely harmony vocals-really clear.

Listening To VanGogh:
What a cool song this is!!!!! GREAT concept and neatly woven into a lovely melody. I love it when a song explores scenarios like this. Especially since Van Gogh is one of my favorites!
