Album Notes

Lyrically, I tend to write about social issues, though cosmology seems to creep into it as well. Jungle Rain was a deliberate departure from the well-formed ideas I usually write about to a stream of consciousness with ideas that seem to be related but you are not quite sure how. Two classic songs that I think use this technique well are Dylan's My Back Pages and Beatles' I Am the Walrus.

Musically, it is largely acoustic, with a nylon-stringed guitar as the centerpiece. The vocal phrasing is reminiscent of some classic vocal jazz, such as (I don't stand a) Ghost of a Chance.

I hope you enjoy it and take the opportunity to listen to my other songs as well.
