Eclectic is his middle name...well maybe not his REAL middle name, but it is a mix of Beatles, Jethro Tull, XTC, humorous power pop and more...and we're not kidding.

Details:
Bill Slater, formerly of âSlater & Shellansâ has released his first solo project âLines & Circlesâ on label Futurama Records. Most of the session musicians from his previous two CD projects (âLiving in Absentiaâ and âCreatures of Habitâ) appear on this musical treat, including Phil Janzen (drums) Mindy Nilson (vocals) Jerry Donato (saxophone and flute) Wilson Gillette (pedal steel), Jimi Powers (lead guitar), and Tony Severino (bass). They are joined by new artists Steve Mitchell (lead guitar), Roger Johnson (lead guitar), Arizona blues legend Carey Slade (vocals), Charlene Tarango (vocals) and last but not least, the wizardry of engineer Mike Bolenbach of Full Well Recording.

An eclectic mix of The Beatles, Michael Penn, XTC, and Frank Zappa all delivered as bitingly satirical, original and humorous power pop makes this a selection where everyone can find their favorite.

âI started this project upon the dissolution of my last band - I had a wealth of material that I wasnât able to put on the last two CDâs, plus going it alone is something Iâve wanted to do for a long time. In that regard, this compilation is the realization of a dream. The musicians who joined me on this project are accomplished and secure in their talent, and it shows.â

The artwork for the cover was done by LauRha Frankfort (see more of her work at www.laurhacreativeartist.com), a multi-talented musician/artist who lives in Scottsdale, Arizona.

âEverything about this CD, from the cover art to the design by Mary McCarty of Jezac Design (the graphic designer for âCreatures of Habitâ) to the music inside is uniquely me - so give a listen - buy 10 copies for your friends - come back to CDBaby and write a review...I think you will be pleased by what you hear!â
