Allow me to announce a new album, my 12th on Di-tone Records. The title: LOVE AND ASHES – the subject, well… love and ashes, or a particular perspective on living from a “seasoned” songwriter offered through eleven new songs, with music that walks further down the road that my music has been traveling for a long while: the synthesis of folk, jazz and popular styles filtered through a chamber music-inspired arranging lens, splendidly played by a first-class crew of musicians and brilliantly engineered and co-produced by my colleague of almost 35 years, the Grammy and Tony and Award winning Scott Lehrer.
Accepting my natural bias, LOVE AND ASHES is my best song album yet. I think it speaks both from and to today. As a line from the title song suggests, "The beauty of life and the heartbreak of living are one." I hope you’re interested in listening.
