Terry Lee Bolton Announces New Release, Reviews CRS 39
|
shotgunbolton writes:
 I'll be releasing a new CD titled You Can't Have It on May 8th, 2008. It is the follow up to "American Man" which is still available at Wal*Mart & WalMart.com. You Can't Have It includes 13 new songs and it is a slight departure from American Man. The record still holds strong to my country & southern rock roots but is more guitar heavy and adds a dose of blues and Detroit Soul thrown in for good measure. Release date is set for May 27th on my label, MRC Records Nashville.

Flipping The Pig New Free Album: My Heroic Cadences
|
|
fthep writes:
 Oddly normal? Normally odd? Though stylistically pulling from many different sources (pop, new wave, folk, jazz, electronic, rock, showtunes, etc.), there's a lyrical and emotional cohesiveness that prevails on the mood of one-man-band Flipping The Pig's melodic new album My Heroic Cadences. The new record retains the chaotic spirit of past releases, but this time with no electric guitars and no bass. It wasn't a conscious decision; they simply weren't plugged in. The album was written, recorded, and released in February, on the heels of last November's You Get The Idea. Its 10 tracks exhibit a personal late night feel: overtones of discomfort, guilt, and paranoia; undertones of hope, humor, and the coolness of paying ten bucks for Eddie Deezen's autograph. There's the throaty choir and wavering vocals on 'The Ripple', the moody solo piano of 'The Conversationalist', the groggy 'Periphery', the mid-tempo new wave pop of 'Let A Moment Pass', the acoustic slightly unsettling tone of the aptly-titled 'The Creeper,' as well as 'Preset' -- his very first drug-addled dance song (he channeled his inner Bronski Beat and he's very proud).

New Free Online Album from Flipping The Pig
|
fthep writes:
 The new Flipping The Pig album, You Get The Idea, was released online for free download on November 8, 2007 at www.flippingthepig.com. As usual, the music is a grab bag of power pop, brooding acoustic numbers, oddities, wry humor, reflection, folk, art-rock leanings, and whatever else this one-man-band feels like creating. This time around the power pop side came to the forefront a bit more, though.
"While Flipping the Pig might only consist of Jeff Mansk and his eclectic and oft funny side, there are times when you feel almost reassured that there's more than one person behind this madness; perhaps he's suffering from a mental disorder..." - Smother.net
