Details:
Hi! Iâm Michael Lydon, a singer-songwriter in New York Cityâs East Village. KUNCEE BUNGRATCEE CHEENA is my third CD. Most of the tracks are in the pop-jazz groove that Iâve been playing for years with my five piece band. âMidnight in Manhattan,â âYou and Me,â âSuch a Tender Touchâ--these are classic songs with the feel of great American standards. âLove Will Take Its Own Sweet Timeâ has a funky Bo Diddley-style beat--I love 50s rock ânâ roll!.

âKuncee Bungratcee Cheena,â on the other hand is something brand new for me: a comedy-inspirational rap song about an average Joe who meets a bunch of little green spacemen who teach him a chant--Kuncee bungratcee cheena--than can bring peace to our troubled planet. I bet you were wondering what that title meant!

To tell you something about myself: I got into music by writing about music. In the 60s I was an early ârock writerâ who helped found ROLLING STONE and interviewed John Lennon, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, and many more. I also wrote RAY CHARLES: MAN AND MUSIC, the definitive biography of the Genius.

With my partner, pianist composer Ellen Mandel, Iâve been living and playing in New York for years. Check out my website for more info: michaellydon.com. And please leave a comment in my guestbook--I love hearing from music-lovers!

And please check out my other two CDs at CD Baby: LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT and MIKE on MIKE.

Thanks for stopping by!
