Album Notes

Masterful brushstrokes laid down with wide-eyed infectious energy. A first-rate debut, vibrant, fun, seductive and honest.

The production and musicianship sparkle throughout, and Medina proves to be a wordsmith of much wit and charm. As he said in a recent interview, Medina writes about quirky, odd anythings he might bump into that tickle his fancy.

His stories are sprinkled with characters, observations and foibles we've all known - the wry ruminations and admonitions of Change - the gritty funkiness of Bad Weather - the tweaked musings of My Ridiculous Life.

The balance of the songs are equally engaging, from lilting melodies to folky blues, pensive and intimate to wacky, twisted and beyond.

Medina's warm conversational style, sly wordplay and off-center humor paint landscapes that invite you to linger, ponder, and smile knowingly before moving on.

A terrific first outing from a fine and accomplished artist whose current creations are proof positive that his future bears watching.

Medina's voice is the perfect match
author: Karen E. Reynolds, Wdvx Radio , 89.9 Fm
An acccurate description of Medina is 'eclectic' ... My Ridiculous Life..is certainly timely lyrically. Medina's voice is the perfect match - different, but strong and effective. Certainly appealing to a broad audience.
