Album Notes

THE QUEST

This second CD of mine has at it's core the issue of one mans' quest in the pursuit of his purpose. To that end he explores his psyche in song and verse. Sometimes the road is more onerous and becomes burdensome, and the melancholy reflected in the music echos this. At other times a party atmosphere takes over, and the joy of living is apparent in the musical interaction. What I've tried to do is to present a balance of viewpoints from my own personal perspective and let the listener decide for themself if it's relevant to their own experience.

This album contains some new songs of mine, plus several covers from some of my most cherished influences over the years. There's many styles here -- from acoustic to acoustic/rock, surf-rock, Celtic and Celtic-influenced, traditional, ballads, etc. A bit of something for everyone who appreciates a multitude of styles, as I do.

Thanks for giving it a listen.
