Album Notes

Vibrant and entertaining show tunes is what listeners will hear on "The Spirit of River City”. This album contains a bustle of energy with versatility to cover a range of music. Take a step back to barber shop style of vocal prowess on the track “The Clip-Clop Life.” Humorous and amusing lyrics highlight the comical song “The Only Time To Act Is Now.” A charming and delightful holiday ballad “Where Is The Christmas” also graces this collection of brilliant tunes. Clever arrangements and solid performances give this album an enjoyable musical experience. This is a wonderful album to hear especially if you like energetic show tunes with memorable originality.
