notes
I was born one half of a century ago in Athens Gr ( not Ga ), and I am living in New York City for the last quarter century.
This is the eighth album I 've been involved in.
I had a good time playing all the instruments and doing the sound engineering and now I know, more than ever, that there's a lot to be learned on both aspects.
Being a person of limited social graces I feel uncomfortable in most places and situations , but
over time I discovered that making music is my ticket to salvation (not to be confused with salivation).
Well ...
this should explain why I write and record ; but why do I have this urge to release my work to the public The entrenched interests coined the term " Vanity Albums " as an explanation.
Is this correct or self - serving? I have no clue, I would like to find out, but analysts (i.e. shrinks) are beyond my means.
All I can say is that, if even a handful of listeners get something positive out of it, this work will be justified...

For a true testimony about how money, dance steps, a manufactured personality, and endless studio time mean practically nothing to good music (Hello Britney! How's it going, Garth?) when you put every ounce of your soul and your heart into it, try this wonderful CD. While it's a lo-fi one-man-band affair with Pavlo Vacatatsis handling everything from drums to pedal steel, even the top execs of Enron don't have enough money to buy this much passion! Musically, it's a mix of country soul ala Arthur Alexander and George Jones (or modern-day Nick Lowe) and 60's mainstream country while lyrically, it's as stark, depressing and immediate as Hank Williams' material. Though Vacatatsis tries to clue the listener in to the genesis of the songs on this CD via a rambling "letter to the consumer", music fans will know these songs really originate from the intersection of heartbreak and pain. Sure, tons of money and a hotshot producer could gussy up this album but it wouldn't have half of its' power and tormented genius that it does now. For a lo-fi look at a latter-day up and comer, you need to get this record. It IS that good.
