Album Notes

The CD opens with "Hollywood", a wry search for bright lights and big bucks, written by guitarist Andy Earl, has a jazzy feel, very similar to Widespread Panic. "Every Day", another Earl composition, mixes Grateful Dead influences with funk and jazz, and serves as a positive message to seek the best in every day. "Red Hair and Green Eyes", a wistful love song, shows fine harmonies by drummer Katie Schmidt, who does impressive lead vocals on a cover of "Keep On Growing". "Turn Off the Light", about a lovely lady named Leila, is reminiscent of Little Feat mixed with The Dead. "Had No Choice" about finding a clear path in life and love by John Flaherty could be The Dead, with Bob Weir singing. "Calling You Out", the bands' anthem to their audience, combines all the above influences with a Motown opening groove.

The recording was done at ARTI Studios engineered by "golden" Ray Rivera.

These folks have an engaging stage presence, and obvious mastery of their instruments. If you favor a mix of tasty jamming, strong vocals and fun lyrics, this band is for you! More information is available at www.moodras.com
