A mellow acoustic experience. Kinda like if Dan Fogelberg and John Denver joined the Moody Blues? A contemplative concept album.

Details:
The songs on âLife's Roadâ were originally written between 1972 & 1977. I turned 18 and graduated from high school in â72. I grew up on the East Coast of Central Florida, nearby the SpaceCenter. Those were interesting years of exploring the world around me and the self within me. These songs reflect that sense of questioning and reaching. I hadnât thought of them as a collective work, in fact, I hadnât thought of them much at all in a long time. Then recently, while I happened to be listening back and reading through lyrics, I realized a certain symbiotic feeling and continuity between them.
My goal was to achieve an organic yet dreamlike quality by blending acoustic and other instruments with meaningful vocals and spacious harmonies. I played all the instruments and sang all vocals except on songs 4 & 7 where I'm joined by the Rosier brothers. These songs were not written with commercial expectations but with honesty and in pursuit of the âCommon Chordâ. They are arranged lyrically and musically with the intent of taking you on a thoughtful inner journey.
So, light up the lava lamp and scented candles, sit back and see where âLife's Roadâ takes you.
Thanks for listening.
