Album Notes

If you're a fan of rock n' roll that has some depth and a great groove, then this CD should be a part of your collection and a part of your musical experience.

Every song on this album represents a celebration and triumph while the album as a whole represents a journey. It comes on like a whisper but like any good encounter, the more you lean into it, the more it opens up. The more you return, the more you discover.

Mark Shields, Corey Culberhouse, and Theo Halpert step into the Lonely Room and take the listener for a ride. Recorded over three days and mostly live, these musicians created music that is greater than their parts while retaining their individuality and personal expression. Pre-production consisted of a song list. Post-production consisted of setting the levels. In the end, we have evidence of a moment that was lived as apposed to a trick juggled.

You put the needle down and sit back into the music for a long view. You savor the space and take time to discover meaning while contemplating your own. When the wave's pound and you get back up, victory is yours and the doors open!

Based on the idea that a soulful existence is neither perfect nor continuously comfortable, this album is all about soul. We might not get out of here alive but we are here now.

REVIEWS

Excellent rock CD. Pick up a copy today!

The Lonely Room Tapes is reminiscent of a summertime show at an outdoor venue or a local festival. Mark Shields and crew are having fun showcasing while the crowd is enjoying sunshine and the company of family and friends. The production is very clean, and the band is tight, with exceptionally notable drum work. "Roller Coast" is a track with alternative roots and a hint of blues that keeps the spirits high and the energy flowing. Shields proves he is especially good at writing for acoustic guitar on his songs "Nude" and "Once Again." If you enjoy modern/alternative rock bands such as Nirvana, you will enjoy this CD.
