Album Notes

hi, i am tris mccall.

i've recorded an album of new jersey songs for you.

i play analog synthesizers, acoustic guitars, and i sing; a cast of thousands filled in the rest for me.

some of the songs are political, some of them are more personal.

many of them are narrative, but a few are more impressionistic.

pick it up and tell me what you think of it.

REVIEWS

A wild romp thru musical style (and thru New Jersey)
author: Rob Harvan
This 17 song album is an incredible melange of musical styles peformed by a group of artrists whose tongues are firmly in their cheeks. The chief co-conspirator is Tris McCall, taking responsibility for words and lyrics. His skills lead me to conclude he is the love-child of Tom Lehrer and Ray Davies (with Pat DiNizio acting as midwife). If you love music in all its forms (many...no, most of which can be found here), and if you love dense narrative, then consider buying this CD! But, if you're also from Jersey - especially if you were born within the sound of WMCA - YOU MUST GET THIS CD!!!!
