notes

Born in the desert of mid 1970's Tucson Arizona, Zachariah headed west to follow his country-rock heroes. Following a record deal that went sour in 2000, Zachariah returned to the studio to make "Ghost Signs" a country-rock party record that has been called "An impressive debut full of beautiful lyricism, witty wordplay and overall unique flavor"

"Blood Rush" was featured on the ABC Family hit TV show "Wildfire."

An accomplished actor, lead singer Zachariah Selwyn has appeared in several TV shows and films as well, and contributed nine new songs to the comedy/horror film "DEAD AND BREAKFAST." -- cdbaby.com/zachariahlr

Yes, this is the runner-up from ESPN's "Dream Job" in 2004.

His loyal following in Los Angeles has earned him cult hero status amongst the local live music scene, being that he is known for his marathon-length freestyle raps and country-fied honky-tonk sensibility.

Zachariah has appeared on records by artists "Blue Meridian," "Eli Braden" and has recorded songs for ESPN, CMT, National Public Radio, Coors Beer, ABC Family's "Wildfire" and the N.B.A.

"Ghost Signs" features two songs with FERGIE, the female singer of rap group "Black Eyed Peas."

  • Swingin'est dam @*!# ever
    author: Caren Gibson

    It's great stuff. Dead and Breakfast is where I found them. It's one of those... it has no bad songs.

  • Excellent
    author: Mecker

    I can't stop hearing this CD ! It wakes me up in the morning, it soothes me in the car while I'm driving in the suburbs, and it rocks me to sleep at night !

  • I LOVE THIS!
    author: Chris

    I can't say anything bad about this album. I bought Ghost Signs after hearing the soundtrack to Dead & Breakfast and I had to have this CD. I quickly found myself listening to this all the time. If I could only listen to one cd for the rest of my life...it would be this one...or any other one they have made...I love them all.

  • Seriously do you see any BAD reviews?
    author: Jackson Brown

    The only downside is there are no lyrics or tabs on the internet which sucks if you want to play some of the songs that aside- this is on repeat until I get sick of it and then some more after that. If you sample any try "No place at all" or "Ride Awhile" both great catchy kickass songs. Lets play some f**king country!

  • praise
    author: adam bope

    fantastic cd, i annoy my fiancee with my constant need to listen to it when we're together. also mad love for cdbaby.com's amazing and personal service, they have my business for zack and the boys cd's and many others to come.

  • I can't stop listening to this CD. Really. The songs haunt me when I'm not playi
    author: Sassy Judy

    I first came upon Zachariah from the movie Dead & Breakfast, and I HAD to find a copy of the soundtrack. Thanks to CDBABY.COM, I also found his other two CDs, and they are fantastic. The lyrics are clever, witty, a real hoot. The more serious songs are great. Some haunting melodies. Give these songs a listen!

  • is this music as good as death metal !!!
    author: mark edwards

    my prefered music is death metal but i found this music refreshingly diffrent and enjoyed listening, a must for any music collection

  • Can't stop listening!
    author: Cindy

    I bought this CD with the Dead and Breakfast soundtrack and I haven't been able to stop listening to either one. The songs remind me of what I used to love about country music - the stories, the catchy melodies - it's a perfect CD. My favorite songs are "Tuscon Afternoon" and "Twenty-Seven."

  • This guy just flat out rocks!
    author: Heather

    I've been a fan of Zach Selwyn since I saw the movie Dead and Breakfast. A funny film made even better by the addition of Zach. (He acts in it as well as performs several tunes). His stuff is good. Give it a listen.

  • Liked it!
    author: Dolf

    Real nice album; good and funny lyrics, nice tunes. I'm probably the only person in Holland (and one of the few outside of America, I gess) who has got a copy, but don't let that fool you!

  • Awesome CD
    author: Jen

    I love this CD. I can listen to it over and over again and not get bored of it. Tracks 6-11 are my favorite. I especially love track number 11. If you don't have this CD you should definitely check it out!!

  • A Reason to Believe in Music Again!
    author: Paul Goldsmith

    Thank god! There is original and good music out there and this disc proves it. This is the best album I have heard in years. Some tracks are funny, some are touching, and others just rock! Zach definatly knows what he is doing!

  • Awesome!
    author: Mike

    I listen to this CD every single day. I just love how original the sound is. Whenever I go somewhere, it's either in my portable CD player, my stereo, or in my car's cd player as I cannot get enough of it. I'm buying their next CD no doubt about it.

  • Awesome
    author: Tony

    Awesome CD. Haven't stopped listening to it.

  • Great cd, original sound!!
    author: Ben Seelen

    Great cd, original sound!!

  • Best CD I've Heard in Lonmg Time
    author: Ryan

    Great CD, Great Tracks, Fun to listen to

  • Hands Down
    author: Laci

    Best CD I've heard in a very long time. This CD should be in every music lover's collection.

  • Very impressive music
    author: Dennis Kuhn

    Zach Selwyn performed a couple of songs with his group on the TV show Attack Of The Show a short while back, and I bought the CD out of curiosity. I was blown away by how good the music was, even though I'd seen a couple performed live. The arrangements are full of catchy hooks and the lyrics are wonderfully funny. I daresay you'll love this even if you aren't overly fond of country music.

  • author: vandal

    great cd, picked it up after watching dead and breakfast, i thought it was mainly gonna be more of a comedy cd (which it has plenty) but they really shine as somewhat serious songwriters, great talent, if your into older "story telling" country or just open to whats out there, then you will love this cd

  • Excellent
    author: Sherry

    Great CD! I gave up on anything even remotely country a while back, but this is fantastic. Thanks!

  • wicked awsome
    author: bdp

    Great sounds...if you like Jack Johnson...Zachariah is better with a country feel

  • new tunes
    author: Michael

    sounds like the start of a new genre for song writers one i happen to enjoy plan on buying every cd he puts out.

  • Witty lyrics and catchy tunes...
    author: Sean S.

    In a market where "original" doesn't exsist, Zachariah comes through. The well thought lyrics soudn liek they coming from the cuff but have so much meaning. It's easy to sing along with and relates to many situation I've been in. I can't wait for more.

  • F'N SWEET HOMBRE!
    author: Carlos

    I can't put the CD down, I listen to it everywhere I go. It has a great southwestern feel to it with some hip hop. It makes me feel like im walking through the desert or im in some saloon surrounded by banditos and senoritas. It's a great album and a must have if you don't have it.

  • Simply amazing!
    author: bigdaddyhorse

    Simply amazing. The only thing I don't like is some songs are so catchy they stick in my head for days. The most fresh, original music I've heard in forever. Looking forward to more from Zach (you got hosed on Dream Job dog, that was yours!). Count me in as a fan for life. Hope you get to tour soon or have a gig when I visit my cousin this summer. I'm in MI. but my cuz is in Tucson.

  • A short sweet review.
    author: Chicky

    This CD is amazing. When I got it I listened to it for hours.

  • Fresh, Extraordinary, Zachariah redefines the boundaries of music
    author: Joe Sanders

    The songs from Zachariah are fresh, honest, and funny. The cd Ghost Signs redefines the boundaries of music, and breaks down the barriers of mixing Rap with Honkytonk with a side order of Funk! An extraordinary achievement, and a welcome change from what American culture considers music.If you want a taste of something different order this Cd!

  • Zachariah Drop-Kicks The Country/Rock/Rap Stereotypes With Style.
    author: Brandi Renee' Jording

    Mr. Selwyn's infectious melodies and off-beat lyrics are sure to win him a very unique spot in the entertainment industry. Fearless blendings of country, rock, and rap are performed effortlessly in the hands of this Arizona native. "Ghost Signs" is sure to haunt old fans, and new fans alike, long after you've turned the CD player off.

  • Thank you ZACHARIAH!!!!
    author: Drew Hennings

    I saw the film Dead and Breakfast and really wanted to get the soundtrack, but it's not out yet, so I got this CD - it is really incredible - I hope Zach does as many albums as he can and I hope he gets in more movies as well - He's a great actor and a great musician... Thanks For LEaving Me is my favorite song

  • What I'm supposed to LIKE this?!?
    author: Molochai Silverstein

    What I'm supposed to LIKE this?!? Oy but I do. I heard this over a metal dishful of free pickles at Jerry's Famous and I'm kritzuppel for it like a verklempt machichtletavoint ... Just spin the cowboy dreidel and rock out to whatever track floats your boat (just wear a lifejacket!! OY!! ...)

  • Zach is the Mack
    author: Rippy Torn

    I recently met Zachariah and it was the delight of my life. This young man has talent coming out of his sweat glands -- no wait that's just sweat. Needless to say he drank me under the table and his CD is fantabulous. I predict he'll be in "Men in Black 4"

  • Zachariah rocks! "Tucson Afternoon" and "Worst Dressed" are my faves!
    author: Trisha

    Ghost Signs has country, rap, hip-hop and rock all in one. Worst Dressed is the funniest song among the CD's tracks, describing the way Zach Selwyn looks and dresses. I love his style. Tucson Afternoon, Thanks for Leaving Me and A Little Taste of Love are also gems in my opinion. I think Selwyn has the talent for all genres of pop music. This CD is a must have!

  • the title track is as good as it gets
    author: dylan

    Ghost Signs is a big step in the right direction for this ball of talent they call Zachariah. While Zach is known on the LA scene for his sense of humor and his genius freestyle, this record shows us a songwriter aware of the mysterious beauty and sorrow of life's journey. Tuscon Afternoon is so lush that you can smell the breeze and see the Southwest landscapes. The song Ghost Signs is an example of what happens when a songwriter taps directly into the ether and pulls out a pure masterpiece. Lalsty, Zachariah's No Place at All is a gem that successfully conveys both the sense of freedom and loneliness experienced only by a true wanderer. I can't wait for the next record.

  • Get it now!!
    author: Yolanda

    If You love songs that make You feel good: get it now.

  • Fine Countryrock
    author: Klaus

    I am from Germany and listen the first time to Zachariah in the movie "Dead And Breakefast", next day I orderd this CD and was not disapointed. Fine Countryrock with a little Rap will be in a heavy rotation on my Player. I hope, however, there will be much more music done by the artist

  • Pretty Darn Good
    author: Kristin

    I wasn't sure what to expect from this cd, but when I first listened to it I really liked it. I'm not a big country fan but it is definitely tolerable in this mixture of rap/country/rock music. It is quite country, but it's not like most country music you think of. It's just really good. And it seems to be a heartfelt and genuine cd. Definitely give it a listen.

  • witty, funny, catchy, and mature come to mind
    author: Hugh Jazz

    Good stuff. It seems like this music is crafted for a summer backyard BBQ or a long road trip. This weekend we played this disc on the back porch while the red sox/yankees played on the telly. I especially like the funk/hick hop parts, and the country vibe that flows through the recording is bearable - even for a noncountry music fan like myself. Twenty Seven and Worst Dressed are the best tunes on the disc. Zach, cut that rap album with Stu and always remember...Tony Corndog is frigginn' clueless when it comes to fresh talent. Go Sox!!

  • A Diamond in the Rough
    author: Michael Garland

    Zach was first introuduced to me as that long haired guy on Dream Jobs. As he gained exposure on that show, his music also gained exposure. My wife and I recently bought the Ghost Signs CD and we were blown away by its sound. Not too hard, not too soft, just some where in the middle. The gutiar sound is great. The CD has a country sound, but also a rock sound. The songs could be heard on various radio stations if given the chance. There isn't a bad track on the disc, especially the title cut, Ghost Signs. Keep up the good work Zach. You should have won Dream Jobs, but since you didn't, push forward and get this music going in a big time way.

  • DREAM JOB GUY SHOULD HAVE WON!!!
    author: Stephen Lynne

    This guy Zachariah should have won DREAM JOB on ESPN - However, now that I've heard his tunes, he should be on tour with somebody huge instead - This CD is cool, and he has sick songs on his website for download as well - It's country and it's rap and it's "so good, once it hits the net, it's so goood..." - Zachariah's line from "Dream Job."

  • Catchy tunes and crafty lyrics, not a bad song on the album!
    author: Funk Doctor J

    Ghost Signs is hands down a great album. It's got a set of highly contagious tunes sure to get any music lover's feet tappin' - whether country's your gig or not. Zachariah mixes the beats of country/rock/honkytonk with quick hip-hop lyrical styles to get a unique, driving sound that gets your head bobbing and wishing you knew the lyrics. An all around creative and addicting set of original material, GHOST SIGNS only begins to hint at the incredible talent Zachariah possesses.

  • Aesome~!
    author: Stacey C.

    Heard him on the radio in Tucson and got the CD - Cool country-rock-rap-lyrics-and FUN! Great to drive around to. perfect road-trip companion.

  • Best CD I bought all year
    author: Gina Green

    I saw a Zachariah show and immediately bought this CD - It ROCKS! The songs are catchy and fun and well written, esp. my faves Tucson Afternoon and Ghost Signs - I connect with everything this CD is about, and it has been in my car for three months (Without coming out once!!!) Even my husband likes this CD and he normally hates anything with a country edge to it. Superb!
