Album Notes

Ira Caplan...inspired, insightful and real...has released his debut CD, Behind the Shadows, a diverse and determined array of songs that catapults the listener across the chasm between heart and mind. With elevated content and excellent production, this CD fuels the inner drive of the Self-aware and inspires the disenchanted.

Ira' songwriting is soothing and engaging, capturing the most evasive sentiments of today's society. With an optimistic, persevering outlook, Ira unravels the inner realities that many sense, but few decipher. Melody lines in "Behind the Shadows" and "The Boy Inside" captivate the listener with presence and power, and lyrical journeys (In the Hills) lead audiences back into realms of genuine wonder.

The album's instrumentation also entreats praise. The musical execution of all the players is animated and precise. Violin solos electrify the individual tracks with emotion and intensity, and stealthy acoustic strumming patterns bring together the piano, synthesizer, flute and percussion to only accentuate this songwriter's performance.

Ira's CD leaves an indelible mark, drawing his audiences back again and again, and leaving echoes from the Oasis you might call 'Home'.
